#61 of 4450 ... E46 Problems by mitsugst Mar 01, 2001 (2:00 am)
I forgot to mention that the stereos are lacking. I feel that BMW doesn't want an image of being loud and obnoxious and so the stereos reflect that. This also keeps us from ruining the stereos by playing them to loud. If what was posted previously: "...salesman reporting that BMW has instructed dealers to replace the amp "on customer complaint" ..." the stereos could have greater potential, and all that is lacking is a stronger amp to re-capture that potential. If this is true I am definitely set on buying a BMW as my next car, as this was my only real complaint (and what a complaint??).

Do you have any proof to support your assinine claim?

You give smoothrunning too much credit. An Accord? Try Razor scooter.   HiC

Or maybe a Big Wheel...
#66 of 4450 transmission by lev_kuznetsov Mar 01, 2001 (12:22 pm)
the automatic transmission on bmw is made by ZF. when did GM made a 5 speed trick automatic tranny and still uses 4-speed in everything, even caddys and opels. do me a favor, don't smoke: it's bad for you Replies to this message: bm3tuner (Jul 27, 2005 9:59 am) kyfdx (Jul 27, 2005 10:20 am)

I hate to admit it, but BMW does use some GM autoboxes in their cars. My wife's E36 has one. You're right on the five speeds, they are ZF- but the later four speeds are GM.

European car companies have used American automatic transmissions for some time...often they do make changes internally, and some even build a new case. Rolls Royce and Volvo also come to mind.

I just have a question, since when is Finland a third world country? I been there, it makes one humble.

I guess Smoothrunning considers Nokia part of the third world economy.   HiC
