Guys,
seems its my turn to suffer the transmission failure issue. i have E53 4.4 year 2000 with only 135,000 KM. and all of a sudden, the transmission wont work and u can feel the slippery. then the screen showed "transmission program failure". i drive it to the BMW dealer, he checked and said the problem with tranmission it self. My question, is it normal that such failure happens without previous warnings. also anyone from your experience, shall i go for complete overhaule for the tranmission which can be done at the ZF service center in my area. is it reliable. .. .thanks for any feedback. .
