First off I'm not a BMW Master Mechanic (But I will be seeing
mine In the morning) So I'll ask him for his educated opinion.

If what you say is correct there is no way I would continue to buy a product
if I felt as you do. The best remedy to improve products is for people
to stop buying defective products and buy something else.
If enough people do that then perhaps the MFG will get the message.

I agree that "customers are often the best ones to have as they provide
honest feedback which helps to drive good companies to be better companies"
But that only works if the MFG is listening which
is why I suggested in another post that if this issue is a serious as
you believe it is then set up a website (only takes and hour) and enlist
all those who share your concerns. That may get BMW"s attention.
Especially if there are as many people with the same issue everyone
claims there is.

Go ahead and post here all you want (all the good it will do).
I'm just suggesting that I don't see what good it will do within
the confines of this forum especially if theres a possibility that
the problem isn't as big as you claim it is.

Better yet set up a BMW complaint twitter account. If you get
enough followers you'll get some attention for sure.

I also agree "It is a right, and good thing for people to post their concerns
here while also contemplating what BMW should do regarding obvious
flaws in one of their components and in their methods for maintaining/addressing said component.

But I disagree that it may very well do with enough pressure to help correct
transmission problems. I've been around these parts for a while and
BMW has said and continues to say that transmission problems are addressed within the
warranty period and in some cases out to 100,000 miles.

That being the case I seriously doubt that any discussion we have about
transmission problems is going cause BMW to perk up to an issue
they are already aware of and all of a sudden change their ways.

You want to push their button? Gather your forces, get your legal
team together and go for it. I'm sure all those who are having tranny
problems will be rooting for your success, as will I
