I don't know how you get a replacement car. But this really sucks.

Did anybody spill any liquid around the shifter (gear Lever). Take the car back and ask them for a an identical exchange.

why would you ask this question on a forum for such an expensive car and not take it to a qualified mechanic? Nobody on here would be able to diagnose it 100%

After only 3 KM?? Wow, I feel for you. I would take it back to the dealership and demand they replace it immediately. You may not get a replacement, but it should light a fire under them to get it fixed straight away. Of course, that's how it would work in the USA. Not sure how these kinds of things work in Dubai. Good luck and let us know how things go.

3km seems about right for the amount of time for a check engine light to kick on. More likely someone left a plug loose
