You are in the BMW M/M3/M6 Forum. Your Host is claires
Thank you for the response. Now my 328CI is going into reverse. It drives the same as if nothing happened. I have not taking it to the shop as of yet want to sell it or tade in. Going to a Honda no more BMWs for me.

Before you make the jump, you might want to do a little research on their transmission problems (which are allegedly fixed, yet problems are still cropping up). Best regards, Shipo |

many of these issues is to only drive manual transmission-equipped cars. Both BMW and Honda make excellent cars with manual transmissions. They almost never fail and are much more fun to drive.

Replying to: shipo (Dec 04, 2009 7:02 pm) Hey, I resent that remark. Except for replacing the transmission, clutch (twice), driveshaft, differential, 2 axles, AFM, brake master cylinder, 2 window switches, exhaust from the header back, control arms, tie-rod ends, rear shock mounts (twice), guibo, O2 sensor, sway bar links, subframe bushings, engine mounts, oil cooler, shifter bushings, 2 wheel bearings, flywheel sensors, and the alternator in the past 3 years, my M3 has been completely reliable!
