A bro-in-law owns a tranny joint in NJ, but he does not do any warrantied trans for 12 months; in his opin, it is almost like here's your part, good luck, in terms of the short duration. He does a few BMWs of varying species per week, and offers several levels of warranty and a couple options of what the "new" trans is, but no warranty as short as 12 months.

He does not ship; only does work in house, and I am not soliciting as he is as busy as a one legged man in an azz kicking contest, but that is his opin on a "one year warranty trans", fwiw.

12 months is a terrible warranty, imo. 2+ years at a minimum. I'd go with the having your tranny rebuilt route...while you're at it, be sure all sensors are replaced, torque converter thoroughly inspected along with oil pump.

just to keep this alive, I ended up purchasing a rebuilt transmission from 1 Stop in Arizona. They were easier to buy from than European and they take credit cards. Should get it next week and will update this post after it gets installed.
