My dad just got his car back from BMW last weekend, and they were fixing some recalls on the SMG tranny. My dad was mad because he said "those little germans with there elflike hands carefully put the tranny together by hand" i mean thats what ///m brags about, hand built cars "so then a american mechanic is gonna carelessly put it back together" those weren't his EXACT words but they are close. So we get the car back, and it now idles a little over 1k rpm. And when you are accellerating from a stop is jerks a little bit like the clutch is bad or going out. OMG i was pissed...

its not a bad clutch, the "driver" simulated in SMG still isn't that bad, but before the simulated driver was flawless, now it jerks a little bit and major loss of speed

No no no...you can't have that....that's just wrong...a true SMG should handle smoothly....I would take it back...and say it isn't the same, but worse....and they should fix it for you at their expense.
