Transmission Reliability

[Quicksilver]

If you read my thread you would have found that the whole
thing was tongue and cheek based on the countless
"not going anywhere" transmission threads which have
been posted year after year.

I understand your argument.I was just trying to keep
you from pissing in the rain regarding the so called numerous
transmission failures due in part to the owner's leaving
the transmission alone poppycock.

As I said read the threads. You will find there is no
consistent evidence to support your argument one way
or the another. But be my guess. Have at it.

Regards

In fact, considering the numerous transmission failures due in part to the owner's leaving the transmission alone as a direct result of BMW's insistence/position (that they since have changed their minds on with newer models) that the X5 transmission fluid is a lifetime fluid that should not be changed ... that alone is enough criteria to at least file a complaint. It seems like it'd be up to the courts to decide if the complaint has merit, not people on a message board who may or may not have the poor soul who is out $6k in part because BMW wrongly believed/stated that the transmission fluid on the X5 was a lifetime fluid needing no changing ... ask Toyota, Ford (in the 70's), etc if a cost/benefit analysis ethos doesn't eventually come back to bite you when enough people say, "enough is enough!"
