1998 BMW 320 User Comment / Complaint

This is 2nd failed transmission in 58577 miles. original transmission failed at approx 21000 and was replaced under warranty by bmw. crevier bmw was informed of problems with 2nd transmission may 2000 and stated they could not duplicate the problem, though made note of issue. on june 17, 2001 transmission failed and car towed to savage bmw, ontario ca, where they diagnosed failed transmission. stated car not under warranty, though would contact bmw corporate. i find it inconceivable that a manual transmission will fail approximately every 30,000 miles. service dealer at savage bmw stated this is only the 3rd manual transmission he's had to replace since 1968. bmw has a serious manufacturing problem that needs to be investigated.
