Replying to: bmwconvert (Mar 06, 2007 9:59 am) Dear BMWconvert,   Thank you for your help. They are replacing my transmission and my dealer told me that they haven't had much problems with them, but a hand full of transmissions that went bad. You are right about the gas economy, but I had other German cars that were faster. I do have the same problems you did with the rattling noises plus more in ther rear of the car. I also had ABS sensor malfunction and over all had bad luck with this car. Replies to this message: bmwconvert (Mar 07, 2007 10:13 am) charlesm7 (Mar 07, 2007 4:12 pm) dulnev (Mar 20, 2007 5:42 am)

Replying to: charlesm7 (Mar 06, 2007 4:39 pm) Sorry to hear about your problems. What were the symptoms with your transmission? I do experience one odd thing, which I can't tell whether it's normal, an engine or a transmission problem. When accelerating relatively hard after a cold startup and the car not warmed up yet, the engine feels like it races a bit, then settles steady, then races, etc. Like it's unsteady when cold. It always goes away when warmed up a bit, so I haven't been too concerned. Did you feel anything like this? Replies to this message: charlesm7 (Mar 07, 2007 4:12 pm) dulnev (Mar 20, 2007 5:42 am)

Replying to: bmwconvert (Mar 07, 2007 10:13 am) Yes that's how it started and then it progress to escalated the way it was shifting, but for me it happen all of the time; not just when it was cold. They’re telling me that I will get my car back in couple of weeks. Replies to this message: dulnev (Mar 20, 2007 5:42 am)

Replying to: charlesm7 (Mar 07, 2007 4:12 pm) What do you mean by "the way it was shifting"? The car has a CVT and it does not shift. I do not perceive any kind of uneveness or lurching during the acceleration; it's just a smooth constant power delivery.
