I just bought a 2000 328ci last week and already have an internittent reverse problem with the trans. The transmission is the automatic steptronic and apparently is a sealed system with no dipstick. At times, the reverse is just like another neutral. When the reverse works it pulls very well. All forward gears pull well and shift smoothly also. The car has 92K miles on it and I have read lots of accounts of owners with similar symptoms.
Any suggestions on this? I am an ex-aircraft mechanic and was hoping I could perform oil changes and periodic service myself. Am hoping I am not looking at a $5k trans replacement
I appreciate any advice
Mike
