Like when im climbing a small slope, I get this light vibration from the rear. (almost sounds like a problem with long shaft coupling) It goes off when I press the pedal harder or even let it go a little.The other "standard" problem is that you get this hollow light growl from the rear box just before down shifting of the gear. Apparantly a common thing esp with the 328. Switch on the radio and you wont hear a thing.After the above, i got a lil paranoid and changed the gbox oil and axle oil 2 weeks back. Seems smoother now but not that much different. The old oil was dirty, so theres one reason to change. (eventhough AB says the gbox oil is for life)FYI, there is a 2001 325i AB maintain with gbox failure at beemer auto. AB says to change the box for RM25K. Selvam has rebuilt it for RM6K, not sure about warranty, etc. This BM only had 65K kms on it.We need to pray for all of our gbox and that they last.Romeo</blockquote>
