3.0si Transmission issue

I might also suggest you not only search for "e70 x5 transmission"...but look at ANYTHING that is BMW plus the same transmission (aka GA6HP26).


Not sure if you undertook this time consuming, annoying and expensive path and DID NOT have BMW software to do transmission diagnostics, look at transmission codes, etc, etc. Did you just have an ODB reader? painful.


There should be lots of posts on this trans, and how to swap. Just takes some googling

I did more research. The transmission EGS is part of valve body that can be removed and then transferred into new transmission valve body. I should be able to do it no issue.

I do have a scanner that can read everything.
