They were going to give us a new trans, but thought that they'd try this first (cheaper for them) and I'm glad that they did. It took them 3 weeks to figure it out. They said it took them that long because of the BMW engineers taking their time getting back to them.

Granted, we haven't driven the car a whole lot since then (10" of snow), but the ride on the way home from the dealer and a couple of trips since then and it hasn't done it.

Good Luck and I hope this helped!"

Hey Steve, thanks for that, appreciate the help, probably should of looked for the technical part of the forum before hand, but i will email the info to my SA, he is pretty much on the ball these days, so I am sure this info will help him out as he usually takes the leads I send him on specific things that come up, like the steering column and rack drama. Cheers, Matt
