Gearbox probs? What mileage?

[pvoltti]

Hello

There's been a couple of posts about the X5 gearbox problems. I would like to know how many miles the gearbox works properly. Please post your mileage here of you have had any gearbox problems. If you haven't got them yet, please post your mileage as well.

Mine is E53, '03, with 90 000 miles. No probs (yet).

'05 E53, Torque converter failure resulting in destroyed 6-sp transmission at 41,900 miles. Premature failure so putting it down to bad luck.

`02 E53 d3.0 124.000km chiptuned to 212 HP and 683 Nm at 1800 rpm - not a slow driver !!
Never any problem with the transmission.
