The "transmission fault drive moderately, drive to the nearest BMW dealership" is the message that I got when I was driving one day a few weeks ago, I have 77,000 miles and I had just had a tune up. Of course I took the care to BMW immediately and found out that the power train was bad? the entire transmission had to be replaced to the tune of $7000, I knew there were some engine problems with some of the BMW years but I didn't think 2008 should've had any problems as far as the transmission going out at 77,000?.
