BMW Good will repair cost

Ah, bless you, Fred.

Oh, and shut up about things you clearly know absolutely zero about, eh?

The car will never be the same again. Mechanics just don't work to a high enough standard for that to happen. Removing the gearbox and replacing it will cause damage. Pipes and cables won't be clipped back. Parts will be binned. Bolts will be missing. BMW hopefully won't often remove a gearbox. My transmission centre do it many times a day. Their remanufacturing facility processes thousands of gearboxes a year mainly for other garages. I would much rather have someone work on my car doing something they are used to doing than something they do occasionally.

I'd personally prefer a BMW trained and warranted technician who specialises on working on BMWs and fitting a brand new manufacturer supplied gearbox rather than some bloke who works on spurious gearboxes from spurious brands daily without necessarily knowing the nuances of each pulling the old box apart and hoping he can find all the bits that are faulty.

I'd be interested in seeing photos of this "factory" / transmission centre that process thousands of gearboxes a year. On any given week they must have, what, 40 cars sitting about with their gearboxes out and perhaps 10 ramps going strong pulling the boxes out and replacing them, plus a massive capability to strip, analyze, order in and repair gearboxes, plus some pretty impressive computing power to be able to interrogate all the ECUs fitted to all gearboxes of all cars.

And i take it they have a fleet of loan cars too, or is that an extra cost the O/P will have to budget for?

Do feel free to share the name and address of it.

There is quite a bit of information there. Which bit do you disagree with?

I get it now, you just post to gain a reaction.

I'm surprised you're not claiming to refurb your own gearboxes on the kitchen table.

Most of what you post is nonesense.


taking that post by itself , you say, the car will never be the same again....you cant possibly know that.


you say, mechanics dont work to a high enough standard, again that is generalisation and something you cant possibly know about this particular BMW garage ( unless you have used them, which of course you would never do)


I could go on but there is no pint as you will continue to post garbage

DoaM

Fred is talking melons.

Many people including many in the motor industry would advise the OP to get rid of the car as soon as possible, normally by trading it in. Why? Because they know that there is a very high chance that the car will continue to cause trouble. Why? Because it is unlikely that they will remove the engine and gearbox, replace the gearbox and put it back properly. Yes it's possible. but unlikely.

You never seem to be able to back up your claptrap with any actual evidence, just your usual supposition based on beggar all. Give us the statistical evidence for your assumption here.

I won't hold my breath.
