It is not normal it needs fluid change or what else. Even if it is software issue, the trans should shift normal at this mileage. So don't request they update the soft (cost $$$) demand they fix the trans. If they don't want to do it, bring the car to another dealership, CPO should be no problem on a trans problem. It is -not- tear and wear.

CPO is not worth it if you let the dealer talk you out of warrantied repairs. It is worth it otherwise. My experience with CPO has been great, repairs performed with little to no questions, and BMW NA was never the problem person in the room, so if your experience differ, try another dealer.
