That in NO way removes their responsibility/accountability for the years in which they CLEARLY stated the transmission was "maintenance-free" for the lifetime of the transmission. And with companies like Toyota now facing class action suits for transmissions on their 2001 and newer RAV-4's because of similar issues not addressed properly, the ONLY think that is laughable is some people's blind love for BMW that doesn't hold their feet to the fire for using a transmission on a $60k+ SAV that won't consistently last 150k miles. BMW are the experts. If their advice/rec's prove harmful or wrong, the consumer (the novices relying on the experts) have recourse in expecting BMW to make right what they made wrong.
