I have a formerly pristine BMW 325i 2003 with 70kmi that had a sudden, catastrophic transmission failure for unidentifiable reasons while being driven near sacramento. The car was towed to a BMW dealer in sacramento who claimed they had "never seen anything like it", yet consumeraffairs. Com has over 20 pages of complaints about this specific problem. Unfortunately, though we were able to locate a used transmission, the dealer refused to install anything other than a brand new unit at the cost of $6,000. Clearly there is something defective in these transmissions. It appears that BMW of north american has refused to accept any responsibility.

Bought the car new in Dec. Transmission failed almost immediately. Dealer talked us into having a clutch pack replacement after software upgrade attempts failed. Now the car has a noxious stinking smell emminating from the transmission. Independent transmission expert says the clutch is slipping and burning insulation. While attempting to merge onto highway with three passengers downshifted for more torque the engine revved as if it were in neutral. Terrifying experience. BMW dealer and Bmwna are unwilling to address this problem. They say car is performing normally. Please help.
