Consumer Description

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 BMW 323I WITH 93K MILES. MY CAR HAS NEVER MISSED A SERVICING. YESTERDAY, WHILE PARKED, IT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. THERE WAS NOT WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS FAILING. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTHORIZED BMW SPECIALIST, AND THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THEY QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $5,520 TO INSTALL A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FROM BMW. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF HUNDREDS OF VERY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, ESPECIALLY WITH BMW 2000 323I. I AM SEEKING INFORMATION ON THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLED IN NJ IN 10/08, MDL 1922. BMW HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS BUILT BY GM. THE SAME TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED IN THE CADILLAC. WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, GM RECALLED ALL THE CADILLAC'S. BMW SHOULD DO THE SAME THING. A TRANSMISSION NOT GOING IN REVERSE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! *TR
