Description of the problem | I own a 1999 bmw 323i. Sometimes the reverse does not work at all and on somedays there are no problems what so ever. I took the care into the bmw dealership and was told that i need a new transmission that would cost about $7,000. I am disabled and cannot afford this type of repair. I thought buying a bmw would be a great retirement car. I am very upset, especially reading on the internet how many people have the same problem and bmw does nothing to help. I have a 1997 381i that is down also. Have taken it to the dealership and my local mechanic. Bmw has changed.. I really need help ... |
