Great post - incredible information. I don't think I'll ever venture in there, but for anyone who is getting screwed by a tranny shop - here's the guide!
Wrong tranny, but about 2 weeks ago, the tranny on my former 525iT went out. I've avoided talking to anyone bimmer related for a while, I had this

though of buying the car back (sold it to my neice's fiancee) and sending it out to Brett Anderson. I really didn't need any of you merry band of misfits convincing me that it would be a great idea!!!
