    1999 328i with automatic transmission issues

    Have a 1999 3281 with automatic transmission issues, hard down shifting. recommended shop quoted $3500 to rebuild it. Any luck with the transmission swap for another auto-transmission ? How to I determine if the manufacture date on my car is pre-jury or post July 1999 ?

    Maybe just valve body cleaning helps, have done that just last week on an E46 and the owner was happy, valve body was dirty, trans filter dirty, and the internal solenoids were also dirty and partly stuck, runs fine again.
    To find out the month and year of your 1999 328i use your VIN and you find details here http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do
