2 Transmission Failure problem of the 2003 BMW X5

Failure Date: 03/03/2011

I own a 2003 BMW X5 4. 6is my transmission has gone completely out with only 70000 miles . I have done a lot of research. I'm not the only one with this problem. I have read in forums that other 2002-2003 4. 6is owners had transmission trans failures. I believe the transmission is defective on this vehicle. There is no reason that a 75k vehicles transmission should not last under 100k miles.

3 Transmission Failure problem of the 2001 BMW X5

Failure Date: 03/23/2009

2001 BMW X5 transmission failure. No reverse, just went out no warning, at low mileage, found this was common to common also found out repair parts are upgraded by BMW, but BMW wont acknowledge a problem even though their are page after page or reports, BMW also will not pay for repair, average estimate is $4500. 00. If BMW didn't recognize the inferior part, then why did they upgrade the repair part, my vehicle is down now because I don't have the resources to fund this repair, I have a nine year old and an eighty four year old depending on this transportation, and due to the death of my mother on the 03/09/2009 and having to move my father from oklahoma to California my money is in a negative, this failure has really place a hardship on us.
