Replying to: shipo (Aug 15, 2007 5:29 pm) The last time I heard of a BMW manual transmission failing was about 2 months ago when the transmission in my 2006 325i failed after only 14k miles (2yrs). I am hoping you are correct about the long term maintenance costs though, because I just love the car and plan to keep it long enough to fight my kids for a ride. br manual guy Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 21, 2007 8:39 am)

I'd be more worried about incompetent repairs, oil changes, etc as the car ages.
