2000 BMW 328I Complaints

NO REVERSE ON 2000 BMW 328I. WENT TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND LET OFF THE BRAKE THEN GAVE IT GAS TO PULL OUT AND INSTEAD ROLLED FOREWORD AND BUMPED ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2000 BMW 328CI WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE. I HAVE READ THAT THERE THIS IS A VERY COMMON TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THE GM TRANSMISSION AND THAT GM RECALLED IT BUT BMW DID NOT. *TR

THE CAR WAS IN PARKING LOT. I SWITCHED THE STICK INTO REVERSE POSITION AND THE CAR GOES NOWHERE. *TR

MY 2000 BMW 328I WILL NOT GO IN REVERSE. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FLAW WITH THE BMW'S AS LISTED ON THE NOREVERSE.ORG SITE. BMW REFUSES TO RECALL THE TRANNY. NO REVERSE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I PERSONALLY FELL DOWN TRYING TO PUSH MY CAR OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. *TR

PLAIN AND SIMPLE, SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE HAVING! THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF ARE LOSING THE REVERSE GEAR AND FACING $5000 PLUS IN REPAIRS. YOU CAN FIND WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE AND PAGE AFTER PAGE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE FACING HARD ECONOMIC HARDSHIP AS IT IS, THEN GETTING SLAPPED IN THE FACE BY RIDICULOUS REPAIR COST FROM BMW. THIS IS AN INJUSTICE TO ALL THOSE WHO TRUSTED IN BMW TO DELIVER THE QUALITY PRODUCT THEY BOAST ABOUT! THINK OF IT THIS WAY, YOUR WIFE OR DAUGHTER IS STUCK IN A DARK PARKING LOT AND CAN'T MOVE HER CAR BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WON'T GO INTO REVERSE. NOW SHE HAS TO SIT AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME TO HER RESCUE. NOW HERE'S THE KICKER, ITS IN A BAD LOCATION AND HER SAFETY IS THREATENED! HMM, WOULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN NICE IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN OFF THEIR BUTTS AND DONE SOMETHING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? THINK ABOUT IT.......THEN PASS IT ALONG TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP US INNOCENT VICTIMS!! *TR

MY 2000 BMW 328I REVERSE GEAR JUST WENT OUT. WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK UP THERE IS NO POWER. I REV THE ENGINE AND IT DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH IT TO GET OUT OF A PARKING SPOT TODAY. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR OF BMW CARS. THE SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH RUNS 4-7 THOUSAND DOLLARS, RIDICULOUS. *TR

MY 200 BMW 328CI'S TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR AND TOOK PERFECT CARE OF IT. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED BY AN AUTHORIZED BMW DEALERSHIP. *TR

REAR SUB FRAME MOUNTING POINTS ARE TEARING THROUGH THE FLOOR PAN. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON AND A RESULT OF INSUFFICIENT STRUCTURAL SUPPORT. *TR

NONE, NO ACCIDENTS. A FEW DAYS AGO MY CAR DID NOT GO INTO REVERSE IN THE MORNING AND I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS TO COLD OR MAYBE I PUT IT IN REVERSE TOO SOON. SO I TRIED SWITCHING THE GEAR INTO PARK OR IN DRIVE AND BACK TO REVERSE AND NOTHING. I EVEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND STILL NO REVERSE. SO I JUST SAT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT REVERSED VERY VERY SLOW EVEN WHEN I TAPPED THE GAS. ANYWAY, SO CAR HAD BEEN GOING INTO REVERSE FINE UNTIL THIS EVENING. I HAD MADE A MORNING TRIP AND AN AFTERNOON TRIP AND REVERSE WAS WORKING BUT THIS EVENING I GOT IN MY CAR AS USUAL AND PUT MY 00' BMW 328I INTO REVERSE AND NOTHING. I CAN'T EVEN FEEL THE GEAR SWITCHING LIKE USUAL BUT ALL OTHER GEARS ARE WORKING. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS SO BMW HAS HAD TO HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR SOME TIME NOW CONSIDERING THAT MOST COMPLAINTS COME FROM BMW CARS THAT WERE MADE IN 99' AND UP. QUESTION IS, WHEN IS BMW GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IF IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM LIKE SO MANY OTHERS IT WOULD COSTS THE BLUE BOOK VALUE FOR MY CAR JUST TO FIX AND ITS NOT WORTH IT. MY FIRST BMW AND PROBABLY MY LAST IF "BMW" DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS THEY SHOULD! I MEAN IF MY REVERSE GOES OUT WHAT'S NEXT TO GO? I AM KIND OF AFRAID TO DRIVE NOW. *TR
