Check with http://www.bmrparts.com to see if they have any rebuilt transmissions you can swap in.

Thanks for the help

How many miles on your X? Is it a 4.4L or 3.0L engine?

Good luck.

I should have mentioned the GM trannys, YES they rebuild GM transmissions as well, I dont think they have the factory authorized support as with ZF, but they have rebuild GM trannys for people I know as recently as last month. That was an early 528 with a GM tranny with 125k, 3rd grear drum was shot.

It's a European transmission made in France, has nothing to do with the American division.

Anything over 100K is extra life IMO out of any automatic trans. BMW trans regularly go to 150-200k with zero service. I have a 165k e36 that is shifting like the day it was made.
