    I've experienced complete failure of the 8 speed steptronic sport transmission in my 2015 328d x-drive at 96,000km. Impeccably dealer maintained. Driven aggressively at times, but not abused. Any others experienced similar failure, or ideas regarding a cause? Repair expected to be over $20k.

    I am in the market for a 2000 BMW 323i 5 speed Manual Transmission! My 5 Speed Getrag 250 reverse is out and I'd rather drop and swap for a working one with minimal issues then try to rebuild my 240K Mileage one. 100K Mileage is preferable. Local or Shipped to 58703 is preferable!

  9. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    Hey Y’all, I’ve got a 2005 BMW 530i with an automatic transmission that has been my daily for 5 years now. When I got the car it would go into safe mode once or twice a year and I would shut the car off, turn it back on and everything was fine with no codes showing on the generic code reader...
  10. E90/E91/E92/E93 (2006 - 2013)
    Transmission shifts fine everything seems to be normal only thing it won’t go into Park and makes clicking noise when I click park only. I’m having a hard time figuring out what this is. Please if anyone has figured out the problem let me know. Thanks 5054 DKG: Parking lock: safety time...
  11. E90/E91/E92/E93 (2006 - 2013)
    My automatic E90 goes limp mode with a yellow gear indicator a couple times a month. Sometimes restarting the car fixes it, sometimes it won't. I know my speed sensors are F'd but not sure if it is related. Speedometer, ABS and cruise control are all out because of those right at the moment. I...
  12. 7 Series - E65 / E66 (2002 - 2008)
    Hey guys, I recently bought a cheap 2003 745i from a friend's neighbor for 1k it has just under 200k miles, he said engine is good and it doesn't run because the transmission filter needs to be changed and that's all and mentioned he doesn't have time changed the pan. I changed the...
  13. E36/7 Z3 (1996-2002)
    I have a 2001 3.0L with an automatic transmission. I believe it’s a GM 350 hydramatic. The seal around the shifter shaft is leaking badly. Will an aftermarket part for a GM vehicle work in this transmission?
  14. E34 (1989 - 1995)
    Hey all, my car seems to only have higher gears right now and the dash was flashing ‘trans program’. These are the codes I have pulled. Any ideas on where to start? Car has 78,000 kilometres, it’s in incredible shape. It sat for 2 years not being driven much before I bought it. I do not drive it...
  15. F10 M5 (2012 - 2016)
    Hello everyone i have a problem, This is what we observed. Upon initiating a manual down shift the DCT would rev match and engine braking began, but after about 1 second the clutches inexplicably released and engine braking ceased. This scenario was repeated many more times.
  16. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    Hi, I have a 2003 E60 530i with a M54B30 engine, it has a weird screeching/rattling sound, but only under medium to heavy accelleration, or when on a slope, regardless of the car being in P R N or D. Then noise is not created when in reverse for example, I know that this car had been neglected...
  17. F30 / F31 / F32 / F33 / F34 / F36 (2012 - current)
    Hey all, I’ve been trying to research what this could be but I’ve been ending up in circles looking at what others have done to resolve this problem. I have a fully loaded 2014 328d xDrive with that kafas/idrive system When I try to accelerate in drive, if slow enough, the car dumps into park...

  20. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    My 2006 E61 530xi has been great, but I'm just about at 200,000 miles and my transmission has been stuttering for the last 20,000 miles. Everything seems to be pointing at the Torque Converter. A transmission shop said the same thing. I don't have any transmission related error codes. Quotes...
