How much is it to repair a BMW transmission?

How much does it cost to repair a BMW transmission? I think my daughter's transmission is broken and I'm a little afraid to get the estimate.

BMWs are luxury cars, so understandably, maintenance can be a bit frightening. In most cases, it can easily cost anywhere from $1,800 to $5,000 to repair a BMW transmission.
Unfortunately, you can’t identify the real issue or the repair cost until you get it checked out. Your safety should always come first, so be sure to bring your car into the shop as soon as possible. Driving with a broken transmission can be extremely dangerous.
As an FYI, keep an eye out for these telltale signs of transmission issues:
  • Car won’t stay in gear
  • Transmission slips to different gears
  • It takes a while to change gears
While symptoms are specific to transmission damage, the following issues could also indicate a transmission problem:
  • Leaking Fluid
  • Buzzing sound when you drive
  • Burning smell
Unless an incident or accident caused the issue, keeping a regular
car maintenance schedule
can prevent transmission issues and save you thousands on repairs in the future.
