i’ve read of many problems with earlier modles such as a 2000, but have not heard of any with any 04’s. just wandering if bmw has resolved the issues related to the transmissions.
First, you did not mention if you are referring to automatic transmissions or manual transmissions.
And second there are no "issues" with BMW transmissions the way you are insinuating. Perhaps you could make yourself clearer by saying just what issues you know of or heard of.
Automatics sometimes do not shift at cold start properly (from park, to backing up and then going forward), and more often, harsh upshifts or downshifts (when coming to a stop or accelerating after braking to a stop). Both problems are corrected by re-programming the EGS module.
Manual transmissions do not have issues except those from stupid drivers who abuse their car.
