Two problems related to transmission failure have been reported for the 2002 BMW M3. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2002 BMW M3, repeated smg transmission failures rendering the vehicle inoperable. BMW has no idea what is causing the problem. BMW also damaged the vehicle trying to retrive it for yet another repair attempt. It may have started itself without the key in it while the tow truck was picking it up. BMW is in a constant state of denial. Vehicle has been in the dealer 6 weeks now and counting and it has less than 8000 miles on it.
The transmission has failed 4 times. It has been repaired 4 times with no effect. The dealer drove it over 300 mile to "test drive" the car. BMW does not respond with anything but rhetoric and poor service. Other owners have had their engines literally blow up! BMW is a terriblel company with defective products and poor service.
