Ok so I just got off a 6 hour trip

getting right off off the freeway the Transmission Fault Error came on. at 1st gear it is VERY slow

So I just got done unpacking and went to turn on the engine again and all systems ok should.

Im going to go ahead and take it in still,but I was wondering if anyone had other experiences with this

**i searched the forums and looks like this msg comes up and goes away and comes back again**

thanks

 

No trans fault errors on my 530xi but they were a regular occurrance as my 7 series mileage increased; trans failure @ 90K miles on e32 740; same mileage on my '01 740

The warning may go away but IMHO get thee to a BMW Dealer Service Center and have the failure reported - especially if you are still under warranty. If the alert appears before then take a quick pic with your cell phone just in event the SA can't retrieve it from one of the BMWs many computers!

 

yes i did take it in and the guy just called me telling me that it was low on trans fluid AND Leaking trans fluid and they had to replace the pan

this got me worried how the hell didnt i notice trans fluid leaking!!!! I will get the full report in later on
