It simply should not happen on a brand new car with only 60kms on it.My opinion is, BMWs are not what they used to be. I remember my father's '89 525i(E34) auto which he owned for 10 years and ran 306,000kms with original engine and gearbox.The car was rock solid reliable and the only major failure was a leaking air con hose(just his luck that it happened in a traffic jam).As for me, I'll stick to old BMW's.Better made, and easy to fix should something breaks.</blockquote>
