It contains a complex system of gears, clutches, and hydraulics (automatic) or gears and synchros (manual). Transmission failure can make your vehicle undriveable and is one of the most expensive repairs. A quality used transmission offers significant savings over rebuilt or new units. The Transmission (also known as TRANS, GEARBOX, TRANNY) is a critical component for your BMW I5.

Replacement Info
Transmission replacement is a major job requiring professional equipment in most cases. The process involves: lifting and supporting the vehicle, removing exhaust and drivetrain components, disconnecting transmission cooler lines and electrical connectors, supporting and removing the transmission (often 150-400 lbs), installing the replacement unit with proper torque specifications, and programming/adapting the new unit to the vehicle's computer. Used transmissions must be an exact match for your vehicle's engine, drivetrain, and model year.
