$3,000 at minimum is what you’ll pay for a BMW 5 Series transmission replacement cost.
In some situations, you could pay up to $7,000 for a new transmission. Yes, it’s super expensive! Why so much? Some models require more work to replace the transmission, and some cities charge more labor. It’s all a complex calculation.
While it sounds like your mechanic’s quote is within the appropriate range, it’s always a good idea to call around and get multiple quotes.
Your
BMW car insurance
is unlikely to cover transmission issues unless the damage was caused by an accident. But you may want to review your
car insurance
coverage once the transmission is repaired.
