Hahaha. I can't drive in flip flops. Scared they'd slip off and get stuck behind the pedals.
I was in the carport anyway. Ha.
I'll move this to "projects" thread. Hope you found a resolution.

Oh boy. Where to start.
Come to find out, the dealer had replaced the transmission due to a gear pop out issue, which was fine. What wasn't fine, was that they didn't put any transmission fluid into the transmission. I drove from Pennsylvania to Georgia over 600 miles with only 2-3 oz. of transmission fluid in the car.
After waiting over a month for resolution the dealership finally sourced a new transmission and the car is currently in my local shop.
They agreed to supply the transmission and I agreed to pay labor since the 30 day warranty on the car was for 50% parts/labor coverage.
While it's in the shop I went ahead and replaced the clutch and flywheel with LUK OEM parts from FCPEuro, the Guibo, CSB, and engine/transmission E46 M3 mounts, fixed a leak on the OFHG, the steering Guibo, and front CAB/Rear RTABs with Z4M parts, and did all new shifter bushings (Car already has short shift kit), and new AC and accessory belts.
I sourced some stock ZHP wheels from a friend and got them mounted.
I have retrofitted new headlight projectors from TRS and new lenses, but currently am having issues with flickering.
I didn't plan on doing THIS much maintenance in the first three months of owning the car, but it is what it is and I'm happy I did it.
Holy cow! Glad that all worked out.
