Hey Guys,

The X Finally gave up the ghost yesterday. I was driving down from Bellingham to Olympia and about 80 miles into the drive I stopped at StarBucks and when I went back out to leave the X died. It reverse out no problem but when I went to first gear it did not want to engage the gear. I at low RPM it would roll forward till about 15-20mph. I got into the road and realized that there was something wrong. I stopped turned the X off and then restarted it and the problem went away until I got to 35 mph, then the engine would just race or rev up but no forward motion. I tried running in first or second gear manually but nothing. I could stop turn the X off and then re-start and it would go for a little bit like up to 30 mph and then the tranny would slip. I did throw a code it was P0734 incorrect gear ratio gear 4. The weird thing is she showed no sign of any issues with the transmission. I ended up having her towed back home and I rented a car and went on my way. I will find out whats up and keep you posted. I think we had a good run together it died at 308,393 miles. I was emotionally torn as I was waiting for this day to come and happy I made it this long. I think I will go buy and M5 to make my self feel better. Here is a pic of her get a ride home.
