What owners wrote
My 2000 BMW 328I with 85000 miles will not go into reverse anymore. A search of this problem at consumeraffairs.com showed that this seems to be a very common problem with this year and model of car. Here is the link. [link removed] please note this car is in excellent condition and has always been maintained according to BMW guidelines at either a BMW dealer or a BMW specialist. Also this car is driven by adults only and in a gentle fashion.
Plain and simple, someone needs to look into this transmission problem that everyone seems to be having! Thousands of people like myself are losing the reverse gear and facing $5000 plus in repairs. You can find website after website and page after page of people that are facing hard economic hardship as it is, then getting slapped in the face by ridiculous repair cost from BMW. This is an injustice to all those who trusted in BMW to deliver the quality product they boast about!
