Hello Fellow BMW enthusiast
Little back story
i have a 2005 325i 4 door, bought in the US Stock and automatic was a good DD until it started to give me problems.
would not shift up or down from 3rd gear if you are asking how (tiptronic)
has the m54 engine stock transmission as well. car has been sitting for over a year now.
so here is were i need help or wisdom from you fellow E46'ers
should i just buy the same engine and transmission or swap it out for a better engine like one from a 330ci?
New to the BMW scene so not sure what else is compatible to the car engine wise. any feed back appreciate.
I think I have read that there is a known issue with the solenoids in the trans and you have to drop the pan and clean or replace them. but, let someone who knows more than I do come verify that
No e30s again.
The first step in diagnosing a problem is to scan the engine computer (DME) and the transmission computer (EGS) for codes. The engine is in the limp mode. The DME does this to protect the engine and the transmission from damage. It could be something as simple as the transmission fluid being low. Find a shop at www.bimrs.org.
