2004 530i with auto failed at 48000 miles. The problem was that the car would not go into reverse.
BMW fixed problem with remanufactured transmission and reprogrammed the EGS module.

Luckily this was still under warranty. Has anybody had any history on the life of the remanufactured transmissions?
Just wondering what the next big expense will happen since the warranty just ran out?
