Description of the problem	I was driving on interstate 95 from washington dc to richmond, va at about 65-75 mph. At around the kings dominion exit, i attempted to accelerate in order to get into a slower lane to let faster traffic pass. That's when i notice the rpm's went up to 8x1000 and the car was not accelerating. I was now coasting at around 60 mph and impeding traffic on a major highway. Being that this particular stretch of highway is about 6-7 lanes wide, it was very difficult and dangerous getting over to the right hand shoulder. I was able to continue to my destination without having the ability to accelerate at normal rate. I had to push the accelerator pedal slightly so that the transmission would not jump out of gear. I made it back home later that day having to drive in the same manner. I was barely able to drive the car up my slightly sloped driveway by trying several times because if i pressed the pedal too hard, the transmission would jump out of gear. After several months of research, i learned that this has been a very common problem in bmw's with the smg transmission. So i waited several months before driving it to the dealership. When i arrived at the dealership, they had to push my car into the service bay because it would no longer stay in gear. I was told that the smg module needed replacing. I called bmw to complain and asked if this was a recalled issue since it happened to many vehicles and because it put me in a potentially life threatening situation on the highway. I was then told was told that bmw will only recall and issue if the nhtsa requires them to do so. The repair bill was approximately $2,000 and bmw offered to pay for 50% of the equipment costs. So i had to pay $1,395 but my car still would not go into gear. This item should be recalled as it put me in a life threatening situation.
