| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I currently own a 2000 bmw 323i with 49,000 miles and was just told today that my transmission needs to be replaced, to the tune of $5200. i took my car to the dealership because i was unable to reverse. it appears that this is a recurring problem with several owners of this very make and model based on other complaints filed on different website. naturally, my warranty ran out last summer at 36,000 miles so i am unable to do anything there. i believe there is definitely a manufacturing problem here when a transmission is failing at less than 50,000 miles. i plan on contacting bmw n.a. to discuss the outrageous price that i have been quoted to see if they can help intervene or offer a solution. *nm |
