I would be INCREDIBLY HESITANT to have anyone other than a BWM dealer touch this trans. I can see these lazy pricks claiming 'the indy messed it up' if he has any trans issues....


OP if you want to press the case with power, pull a trans fluid sample and SEND IT TO BLACKSTONE. If they come back with an abnormal fluid (or wear particles) report, THEN you can beat BMW about the head and neck with that.


A 'burnt smell' will not get you far.






Oh, whatever you do, have a fluid sample pulled from that original fluid- it may be very important. Even if it sits on your desk for a year...
