x5

[denden]

Hello. I am new in this site and I was hoping to find someone who can help me in with my X5 issues. I have a 4.4 x5 2000 with 115000 miles and was driving in the highway when suddenly I lost power as if the transmission slip and the engine went to neutral. Luckily I was able to pullover on the shoulder safely. I had to have the X5 towed since it does not get into gear anymore either reverse or drive. when I shift it to it. The sound I hear when I shift it to D or R is a loud clicking sound. Do I need a new transmission ? I heard it cost about $4500 for parts alone and maybe $1500 for labor. By the way, when this happen the computer fault display in the dash displayed transmission failsafe prog.

sounds like your transmission is gone.

Cost sounds about right.

Aroundd 5-7k.

I had such a bad experience with my X5 and at this point just want to get rid of it. I was thinking of having it fix in a shop other than the dealer for less. What do you think ? Do you have any idea how much the trade in value is on this vehicle ? Thanks

:xoutpost:

with so many miles on and a failing transmission, i think you'll be lucky to find $17000

Trade in is not worth it.

Sell it private party.

Dealerships are offering people 13-15k on their X5s
