[QUOTE="infinityKL, post: 208302, member: 5054"] ON THE CLOCK: only 130K when this happened!!! **This is my previous post on another topic, but same problem.... Very true, although the feel of driving in S mode is just spectacular its not recommended to use it for no reason, as i had a problem after about a year [B]always[/B] switching to th S mode for the "kick" of it. Also not recommended to switch to S mode during high speeds or RPM. This was mechs advice after fixing it!! Experience: driving along jalan duta when a 325i E46 was getting close on my rear view mirror, i was up for it. K lets go and i switched to S and the instant torque excited me, E46 was close behind me though. After about 3 minutes, reaching speeds of about 170km/h, suddenly i felt just 1 very short and soft jerk and my Speedometer was going down gradually and i lost all the torque[obviously the E46 driver is a happy man]...Guess wat? The gearbox lite on the meter panel showed up [inside my heart im a dead man]. So i slowed down but kept on driving. Then i realise tat my gears were not changing at all[only on 4th gear] even after a standstill. Called my mech, ask me to off the ignition fr 5 seconds and restart the engine[so called reset]. It worked, but only on E mode[strangely]. Tried S mode, same thing after a minute or so... The problem: took it to my mech, he stuck the watever computer u call it and it showed;[B] Error 100 electronic speed sensor. Got it replaced RM380[/B]. Straight away took a spin up and down Genting all the way in S mode, Perfect!! But now i only use it when needed as my mech said eventually ur gearbox will 'kong' if ur fulltime or always on S mode. Has anyone come across this problem? Pls share...cheers Bro Alvin, I understand tat its been sometime now. Did u get it fixed? wat was the prob? how much did it cost? THX [/QUOTE]
