Thats nothing boys,My 02
MC is now on its 5th gearbox,3rd clutch,3rd power steering pump.One gearbox was replaced 5/7/04 and went walkies 23/8/04,they are crap,my car has been off the road for 24 days being fixed so far,I wrote to BMW customer services on the 1st Feb this year and so far have had absolutely NO response whatsoever,not even an acknowledgement that thay received the letter which was sent by recorded delivery,so another is on its way now.
