This has significantly reduced the incidence of grinding - but it has not eliminated it!

I find this to be a very disappointing build quality issue for such an expensive car. It's also too bad b/c I love everything else about my 335is....
Good to hear that it's not an isolated issue with my vehicle, but at the same time sad to see that it's an issue for some of us. I was very careful with it this morning and rowed through the gears before driving the car and no issue yet. Going to keep an eye on it for the next week.

Thanks for all the input!
