Something doesn't sound right. Your transmission contains more than 3 liters of fluid. It sounds like they just drained and filled (and not flushed) which is fine if you plan on changing the fluid more frequently. Not ok if you plan on changing the fluid in another 100,000 miles.

If no codes are being thrown use Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner (concentrate). It solves rpm fluctuating upon cold start-up. Also, for most BMW problems start off by scanning your car with the Peake Research Tool. It contains the actual BMW codes. If you want to register a newly installed battery for free (just buy a $10 cable) and google/download BMWLogger
