"EB" dash light warning! Help..

[sideez_1]

A friend has a 2002 Mini Cooper (Automatic), and was experiencing the following problems

Sluggish performance
Delay in changing gears (car was over revving)
In the last 24 hours, a warning light on the dash ("EB") has appeared

Was taken to the BMW dealer, and told it is a problem with the electronic transmission, and could cost up to $9,500.00 (AUD).

Also, car has done 110,000 km's.

Anybody had the same problem?? If so, what exactly is wrong and how much was it to fix??

Thanks in advance!

Thanks roni.

I believe the BMW dealer has reset the computer a couple of times and has tried to update the software; nothing has changed though.
