Has anyone had to replace the automatic transmission on their CM?

We own a '12 CMSA4 that BMW is replacing due to repeated electrical system issues. Our current car has a manual trans, but we ordered the replacement car with an automatic because of all the reports of clutch problems (our clutch did not fail, but we had the car only a short time).

We were under the impression that few if any CM automatic owners have had to have transmissions replaced. Is that true?

 

I think I've seen a post here related to that. I have not had failure in 11k miles. In fact the only issue I've had since ownership is a false tire pressure monitoring reading.

I don't always drive like I'm racing it, but there are days I hit sport mode and hit the curves, so I'd say I give it good wear and tear.

 

I think the issue is not that big of a deal for non all4 CMS, I have 18k on mine and no issues other than a smelly clutch going up hill at times.

 

PM bmwr606 he seems to know all about it!

 

my 2011 had 33,000 miles trani ok but they had to replace Transfer case

 

My 2011 CMS automatic trans was replaced under warranty at approximately 30K miles. I had detected a whine under deacceleration and asked the dealer to look into it. They did an analysis of the trans fluid and found suspended metal particles. I'm sure glad I noticed before warranty expired.
