Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2000 BMW 323I ON TUESDAY MARCH 14 FROM A PRIVATE OWNER WHO HAD METICULOUS RECORDS OF MAINTENANCE AND VEHICLE ONLY HAD 97K MILES. TWO DAYS LATER, THE "REVERSE" WENT OUT BUT THE OTHER GEARS WERE FINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND SAID THAT I WOULD BE NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE BMW DEALER IS GOING TO CHARGE ME $7000 TO FIX. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND NOW IS NOT DRIVABLE. I WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WAS ASTONISHED TO SEE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. BMWNA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS CLEARLY A TRANSMISSION DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
