What are the early warning signs of BMW 2 Series transmission failure?

I own a 2016 BMW 2 Series and want to avoid costly repairs. What symptoms should I watch for that indicate a transmission is about to fail? Are there signs specific to dual-clutch systems o r automatics that show up early?

Watch out for:

Delayed shifting o r staying in low gear too long

Jerking between 1st and 2nd gear

Gear slipping under light acceleration

Unusual noises like grinding o r whining

Transmission overheating warnings on the dashboard
In Pakistan, where diagnostics can be costly, scanning with a proper BMW ISTA system is essential to identify early mechatronic o r fluid pressure issues.
