I would recommend doing what I did, and doing it right away.

Good God ZF should be ashamed of itself for building such a shoddy transmission.

Well my transmission guy cleared the codes but can't work on the car for a couple weeks because of holidays and Christmas being around the corner so I'm kind of stuck zf sucks balls
You would think that bmw would use better parts

I've been told that it's not a sports car its a family car

As long as all the components are working perfectly, it's an excellent transmission :-)

KyleB

Unfortunately, that's the critical part that ZF didn't quite master before releasing it to market. Because money.

Q2CME

It could be an excellent transmission if it actually worked

not sure if its avalible in australia but get an extended warranty. I did that over here and walked out with a brand new transmission my started to also have issues around 124K miles dont let it get so far out that you're stuck driving 40 miles on the freeway
