Well if thats the case, then shame on BMW for charging such a high price on there cars, and giving there customers weak tranny's. I just don't get it with the tranny issue. How can Lexus, Infiniti, to just name a couple, not have these types of problems? I mean I know they have there own little nick nacks but lets not kid ourselves, BMW should not have these types of problems. Period! I still have my Lexus SC400 95 with 210K on the clock and its still original Tranny. The thing won't stop running. I've changed the tranny oil every 60k and its been fine. I just don't get it.
