So I already had my transmission replaced once under warranty due to transmission whine. The noise returned a few thousand miles later and I took it back to the dealership. While they acknowledge that the whine has returned, this time they declined to cover under warranty because they claim I used Launch Control too many times, and that is the cause of the problem.

I got the car back without work done, and I am trying to figure out what my recourse is. If Launch Control is causing the damage, then that's not my problem as it is a feature of the car, and no where in the manual are any limits stated for using this feature. I used the feature in accordance with the instructions provided with the car.

My main concern is now I am worried that I will be on the hook if anything else happens to my transmission, and I'm trying to figure out if I have any recourse or if this is something I have to live with. Car is at 10k miles and is about 9 months old.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.
I'd try contacting a BMW NA representative to see if they could help.
