Hi all,
My dad's new E60 523i transmission gave way today, I-drive displayed a transmision failure today on the highway. My dad is really disturbed cause the engine just gave out along the highway at 80+km/h . Luckily no accident resulted, since i helped my dad decide to get the 523 over the lexus, i m now doubtful of my judgement. The car has only 600 Kms on the dial and is only 18 days old. this is really troubling...
(note to s'poreans i posted this on BMW-Sg forum as well..)

 

Do not worry too much. You've purchased a good car.
