e82 automatic transmission replacement?
Hello addicts,
I have a 128i auto that had a shudder on lockup of torque converter. Bmw replaced the torque converter but the car still has shudder. the warranty will only cover 4700 towards a new replacement transmission (which is about $9500 total). That means I have to come out of pocket almost 5k. I can get an independent shop to replace with a used transmission for a couple grand (and warranty will pay), but I was told I have a 50/50 chance that I can get the computer to work with it. Is this true?:Im an e36/e39 guy and know workarounds to those vehicles, but. the e82 is considerably more modern |

10k for a trans is so crazy. Not much help here, but I'd call Rob at Speed Logic here in California to get some info.

Regarding getting the computers to work with the new transmission, I'd be surprised if it was not possible. People replace modules, engines and transmissions and there have even been some that have gone from MT<> AT.

I get the feeling he may be a victim of his own success. Like I said he's a super nice guy but I started to get the feeling their shop is a little overwhelmed and certain cars and customers may fall from their cross check. My intake and control arm install were great with him. But my suspension (esp subframe bushing), performance brakes, and exhaust install all had issues. The exhaust had a rattle that he did, to his credit, fix under his own guarantee. The suspension though, one of the subframe bushings was not installed correctly and he gave me a car with a bad alignment and didn't say anything. My local shop I take the car to for regular maintenance noticed it when I said I thought the car felt a little weird in the canyons (lesson learned, never leave without getting the alignment print out). Final straw was the brakes. During canyon runs the car would start making a sound as if something was rubbing. Made an appointment and everything, and the car sat for over a week with no updates and very little response to inquiry. I ended up getting the car back and took it to my local shop and they had it diagnosed and fixed in two hours (issue with the parking brake settings). I drove all the way from the South Bay based on recommendations of his shop, but I won't anymore. Sorry OP for the long hijack. |

Id call a few more shops for quotes and info, I'd be weary of a mechanic that gave me 50/50 odd of the trans working. |

50/50 shot of it working?
How about a 0% chance of using that incompetent shop? There's a million BMW specialists around Orlando. Call them and see who's not afraid of computers in 2020.
