Anyone take their M550i in for transmission concerns?

As my car ages and puts on miles I'm starting to get more weary of the jerkiness or abrupt shifting in comfort mode. I'll be dropping it off next week and I'm probably going to mention my concerns but I just need to think how to word them so they get taken seriously. Customers just complaining about transmission feel is hard to follow up on or diagnose.

I was experiencing similar symptoms on my 2018 (33K miles). For me, it was the transfer case which has a TSB given the case was not designed to handle the torque of the m550 (per my service advisor). I thankfully had mine replaced under warranty, as the transfer case alone was close to $5k without labor.
