I have a E60 525, just 4 years and 82,000 kms and BMW have told me the gearbox needs to be changed at a cost of around $10k.
I don't drive the car hard. I have just had all 6 ignition coils replaced because the engine was misfiring and the problem started immediately after that. The car cannot come to a stop without the engine lurching forward at the very point of stopping.
Initial prognosis was a software issue - locked clutch problem which would be rectified with a re program. Well, that's been done and after a test drive, the problem still exists. I am in Korea now and they tell me changing the gearbox will solve the problem?
That cannot be right can it? 4 years and 82k kms? Change gearbox?
Will BMW pay part of the cost? Anyone else had a claim like this?
