Well I got the estimate for repairs from BMW and I must say I laughed out loud.

Transmission $8204
4 Tires $4105 only the rear are close to needing replaced.
Alignment $234
L & R axle boots $1074
Front Brake Job $1057

Total $16051

Since I just did the rear brakes and only need pads on the front I obviously can beat their estimate. Not sure on the axle boots as I have not looked into it. I have already shopped the tires and since i have a friend that owns a tire shop I can replace all 4 for almost 75% less than they quoted.

Still trying to get the records so I can go to BMW of America to see what they will do on the transmission. With only 35,000 miles I would hope they would stand behind their product. If not, I have a good transmission shop that already said to bring it to them.

I'm willing to put a little into it but I obviously can put way less than at BMW and still not be upside down on the thing.

Thoughts?
