Great write up sir.
After buying our first BMW CPO in June of 2017 and finding out about the possible TC issue I about got sick
. Bought the car with 36k on the clock and currently have 46k miles. Received the warranty info notice on extending the TC warranty to 7 years/70,000 miles in November of 2017
. That makes me feel a bit better but still need to plan for replacement before then.
Meanwhile when I change the oil I make sure and check the TC for slack etc..
