No Reverse Transmission
Issues - BMW
This is the ONLY website
that is solely
dedicated to helping BMW owners voice their opinions and gather data
on the KNOWN reverse transmission issue that prevents the cars from going in
reverse. Oh, the wonderful feeling of no reverse.
Consumers from all over the U.S. are
reporting the failure. Without notice, the reverse gear stops
working in BMWs, many of them the popular 2000 323i luxury sedan.

8 hours after the post below, we received a comment which I thought
was from some random person, but the ip address (209.155.232.53)
is used by BMW & Mini Of South Atlanta. The comment was: "You
guys should all kill yourselves. Get a real job, or a dog. A 50/50
split on parts on a car with 120k+ is acceptable" --- Now
that's classy.
