Click on view detail. It says near the top of the detail that it is a "cracked" version. I don't know if the seller thinks cracked is the same as hacked. Might be fine, don't have a clue but it also states you may have to turn off anti-virus to download.

As you know, transmission symptoms can be misleading and Tdog05 may have needed a transmission rebuild but just as in the case of an air-conditioning issue the best course of action we could recommend is to have an expert diagnosis the problem.

FYI--No, I got my license decades prior to the 90s but I wish that was true and of course it would have no bearing on what I know about engines.

I don't think profiling anyone based on assumptions, very few at that, then responding accordingly is ever a good decision.

BTW, I sincerely enjoyed the video and think it was a great contribution.
If you look at my 4300 plus posts, you will see that 90% of them are about me helping people solve their problems that they have encounter with their BMW.

From telling them what could be their problems from the limited info that they provided to identifying parts that they have no ideal where it came off, to helping local BMW owners scan their car for free and telling them what needs to be done to fix their BMW.

You may not think that profiling anyone based on assumptions is ever a good ideal, but I am not alone in my profiling. If you think profiling is bad how about a noob that you tried to help post on your user cp that you are a know it all Doucbe Bag because he didn't like my reply to his problem.

Hopefully next year I'll be on the Cayenne forum instead of the E53 forum.

It's like a divorce or a bad relationship, once it's over it's time to move on and don't look back.
