RIP homie TehPandaShow: Loiue
What about a 2000 323i auto-transmission?
Its got 98,000 miles.
I dont know if its normal, but when i move to reverse the car moves up, and when i move to drive, it settles down?
Is that normal?
Makes some noise, usually when its not warmed up.
Has anyone in here done a tranny swap from an automatic to a manual..is it easy..cost and what not??

That's an interesting proposition on the filter. Anyone else have any thoughts or follow a similar regimen (changing the transmission fluid or even just the filter in spite of what the manual says?)
also, anyone have any feedback on repair costs for the transmission?
I too HATE having bought the auto, totally ruins the driving experience. I drive a lot for work so i thought the auto was just practical, but it's killing me. and, i had not driven an auto in so long, i keep trying to turn the car off in drive...
DJ's probably back, with a new username...ahah

Hi,
So I'm new to this forum and inheriting a 325ci convertible 2001 from my girlfriend- at least the maintenance lol
How did you deduce that its a ZF from that chart? I didn't see it.
Anyway at 140 k miles the auto tranny reverse went out- just like that at lunch. Indy Mechanic says transmission broken and wants 5k for new tranny and installation. Quick check at aamco (and here) seems that is the problem and solution. This is San Mateo , Ca area. Aamco says 1900$ for rebuild w labor installation with 3mos/36000 mile warranty nationwide with extended warranty of 12mos/12k miles for 450$. Any comments suggestions? The car is in decent shape but has some dings, scratches
thanks
bob
Just bought a 2003 330ci /w 64000 miles on it. I've read that the it's got a good trans (auto) but would you guys suggest still getting the fluid changed immediately? And then every 30k miles thereafter?
Oh; anyone know any good indy shops near Detroit? How much would an indy shop charge usually?
118K on ZF transmission and I think it's still fine - at least reverse is still working.
I don't know if this is normal. But when I'm on a hill, with the front of the car facing down the hill, I get this nasty jolt and clunk sound when shifting from drive into reverse. But this doesn't happen on flat ground. Is this normal?
Wow, Just Wow!
I Can not believe that BMW's Auto Tranny was this HORRIBLE! I always thought BMW was reliable but this auto transmission going out is pathetic. Most Japanese car gets at least 200k with auto. Even American car gets at least 190k.
Why is that BMW can not reach 200k mark with their auto tranny? Or am I mistaken?
247,000 e53 original tranny no fluids ever replaced or filters
230,000 e46 original tranny no fluids ever replaced or filters
All highway miles tho.
Would like to now but they both running great. only problem was my idol control valve needed cleaning. That caused my engine to over heat and blow my radiator on my e46. I shut it down before any damage was done. Then replaced with all aluminum mashimoto radiator. And now she's sprinting with a new K&n filter. But cleaning that icv on both vehicles really helped the performance on both vehicles.
FYI if I new better I would of changed the fluids now is probably too late.
