2001 330i BMW. Consumer states problems with reverse in transmission.
My 2001 BMW 300i stopped going in reverse last Wednesday. Apparently, this is a known issue, as I was very suprised to see dozens of websites dedicated to this no reverse issue. How come there was no recall for this common failure?.
My transmission, will not work in reverse. The car just revs, and goes nowhere. This is a common problem, and still BMW does not recall these cars. 4200. 00 plus labor, for a remanufactured one from dealer. I am done with BMW.
