BMW makes transmissions that are non-serviceable. If it breaks, you throw it away and put a new one in. I can't remember what the cost was on the new 545 trans but the M3 is like $6k. I'm sure was similar. Add in a new clutch, flywheel, labor and you've got a $10k bill.

Regarding the 545, they used the same trans from when they started producing them (2004) all the way up to March 2005, if I remember correctly. My 545 was a May or June 2005 build so it used the new updated trans. Zero in the junkyards across the country and the trans was to be special ordered from Germany. This was back in 2009 or 2010. Long time ago.

Now I own two M cars out of warranty. Balls of steel, right? Lol

If you really drive your car, extended warranties on BMW/Audi/Benz are a worth it.

If you're gonna dump the car in 4-years. Probably not so.

And remember. They too are negotiable.

I'm debating the purchase of that 4th year of warranty. I think I have until 10k miles to decide.

Yes... the knife is not always the way to go...

Thank you both for reminding me why I like leasing. Stupid attractive .9% finance rate. Dammit.

Do the warranty.

As long as SG and MT aren't trying to do this in UncleWede 's van, we are ok.

I just did an involuntary cover-up when reading about the knife.

Biorin , you should know that if you have any questions about the car, you should ask it here in OT. It's not safe everywhere else in BP. Rookie move.

The best $3000.00 that I ever spent was on the top level BMW warranty on the M6. Three months after I purchased it, the rod bearings went south necessitating an engine replacement. I paid $53.95 for a new engine rather than $45K.

Now about this breaking of certain things slowly...

Classic rod bearing issue. I'm planning on doing mine preventatively next winter.

Smart. Do it regularly. My new engine only has 23K on it since I've been driving the crap out of the i8!

I saw something on TV about it a while back and the MT noob (shots fired

) says I'm very knowledgeable, all of a sudden.

Thank you for your concern though. I'm not living in a closet.

Hey, no offense taken at being called a noob by the guy who is clearly an expert with the stick, if you know what I mean...

Haha nice try but we all know the skill comes from the footwork. Since you think the perfection is in the stick, I'm sure you have a firm grasp on it by now.

I need to call Dave Walter and get an update. I know they are all built but not shipped. Mine has not been shipped.

Who did you work with there? My guy isn't there anymore. I'm trying to get on the list for an M2 CS.

Good to know you're experienced with the foot fetishes as well! Although judging by how weird accountants are, maybe this is expected.

Theyre more like black panthers on the verge of death.

And this cunt wont look at me to bring me another beer. Terrible service. Shame on Cleveland.

So you're saying you have a foot fetish too?

For the record, I do not have a foot fetish. That's nasty.
