Description of the problem	I just read about the person who had the 1999 that had the engine light and transmission light go on. I have had the same thing. A mechanic friend of mine said that we should change the "lifetime" fluid and it might clear it out. When put on the computer it showed a problem with the 5th gear. We went ahead and paid to have the fluid changed. It was extremely dirty and definitely a good idea to change it.... Well it didn't rectify the problem. I have been told by bmw that i will need to probably have the entire transmission replaced... Bmw is part pushers only, not mechanics..... My car is a 1999 and has only 70k miles on it... I have never had a transmission problem with a car with that little of miles on it. I had someone suggest not using the 5th gear so i am driving in s4 instead of "d". So far it is working just fine, however my engine light still comes on periodically. I agree that bmw should have a long warranty when it comes to transmission especially with all of the complaints i have read and price of this "most wonderful car". At this point i will never buy another bmw. I too plan to go into a toyota or honda. *jb
