How much will it cost 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.

Getting repair estimates can be frightening, especially on a transmission! It can easily cost anywhere from $1,800 to $5,000 to repair a BMW transmission. The price is high but justifiable when you know how essential the transmission is. Without it, you probably aren’t going anywhere. If you want to find out if your problem really is transmission-related, keep an eye out for these telltale signs:
  • 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
That said, you won’t be able to identify the real issue or the repair cost until you get it checked out. Driving with a broken transmission can be extremely dangerous, so it’s important to get it checked out as soon as possible.
Even so, transmission problems are usually avoidable. Keeping up with a responsible
car maintenance schedule
can save you thousands on repairs in the long run. And while you’re saving on repairs, you might as well save on car insurance!
