Why not write BMWNA regarding this issue and get back to us with
their answer. I suspect if they are reasonable people perhaps they
will agree with you. Either way I believe there are some of us that
would be interested in their written response to you concerns......

One suggestion. Please express your concerns the same way you
posted in this thread. Your position as you laid it out so far
doesn't seem to have a lot of support so I would be interested
to see how they respond.

This observation does not invalidate the first suggestion. In fact, if BMW would extend their warranty coverage (or at least partial coverage) for the problematic transmissions to 150k miles, that would pass the reasonable person test, IMO.
