    I hope you’re all doing well. I am reaching out to this community hoping someone might have experienced similar issues with their BMW X3 and can offer some advice or insights.
    Car Model: BMW X3 2015
    Issues I’m Facing:
    Transmission Warning Sign: Recently, the transmission warning sign was illuminated on my dashboard. I haven’t noticed any specific triggers for this, but it has me concerned.

    Strange Smell: Along with the warning sign, I’ve started to notice a peculiar smell inside the car. I can’t pinpoint exactly where it’s coming from, but it seems somewhat like a burnt odor.

    Delay in Gear Shifting: The car is experiencing a noticeable delay when shifting gears. The delay isn’t consistent, but it’s definitely more frequent than before.
    I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on possible causes or recommend the next steps. I’m trying to gather some information before I take it to a mechanic so I can have a more informed discussion.
