Steptronic sticky is helpful but needs to be updated

[Gronker]

There are many people reporting new transmission failures. My dealer continues to tell me that the clucth pack repair was the same as the transmission replacement. I have printed the TSB and given it to them and they will do nothing. I am at my wits end trying to work with them. BMWNA has left me out in the cold.

How can BMW continue to remain silent when such a widespread problem our own government (NHTSA and DOT) are investigating them for this very defect?

I am hoping for some positive suggestions.

Methinks I smell the return of the spammer from a month or so ago ... and it was SO peaceful!
