enrita · 06-08-2011, 10:25 AM

The trannies are the same so no issues installing the 09. for piece of mind compaire the part id on Realoem.com

tripleblackbeemer · 06-08-2011, 10:26 AM

ye i tracked it had all the basic bolt-ons catless and jb3 back in the 1.4 days lol

enrita · 06-08-2011, 10:29 AM

how exactly did it blow? symptons? you have to understand that we are very keen to know all details since very very few trannies have blown.

tripleblackbeemer · 06-08-2011, 10:34 AM

it started slippin while shifting gears i continued to drive its a (AT btw) and eventually it woUld constantly go into safety mode. when i brought it bmw NA tech came down voided the warranty on powertrain they quoted me 7700 and towed my car back to me now im trying to figure out what best way for me to fix it now that i have to give it back in 6 months

Sorry to hear about your problem. Sounds very expensive.

Yet another reason why automatics suck majorly.

scottp999 · 06-08-2011, 10:46 AM

What you are doing is the way to go. Find one off a wreck. There is a parts web site someone gave me, I don't have it handy online, but basically a nation wide search on parts from the junk yard.

Like someone previously said, just confirm on real oem that the same part numbers are used between the two years, and even if they are not it still might work if it was just a part upgrade/fix.

Car-part.com is the site. I just entered in 07 BMW 335i AT and confirmed 07-09 is all the same. Looks like there is even one available in NY for the OP. Hope that helps. Used will save you lots of money just make sure your getting a good used one.

Turkeybaster115 · 06-08-2011, 10:57 AM

OP, I heard that these trannies have to be programmed in, so it might not be a simple drop and install. Good Luck.

Yea exactly you don't want to get caught with the labor twice. And on ALLDATA the 2nd step to replacing a AT trans on this car is says the transmission control unit will need to be reprogrammed. Let us know how it turns out OP.

O HELLA BMW · 06-08-2011, 11:25 AM

I guess our auto trannys can't handle a tune for long

Express · 06-08-2011, 11:32 AM

yes they can lol

chumley · 06-08-2011, 11:37 AM

Just curious, how does a voided warranty effect a lease? Any ramifications? Does the OP need to worry about how/where he gets it fixed?

Never leased, but I've always wondered if the leasing companies have some provision for the condition of the car other than cosmetic issues, tires, etc.

I'm guessing 1/4 mile, since he posted his et, and mph.

jokergerm · 06-08-2011, 12:20 PM

why did they void your warranty

Javier · 06-08-2011, 12:27 PM

Why dis they void your warranty. Did you take the car in with all the mods installed? Very few AT trannies have failed maybe it was defective from the factory...

AT trannies on this board have taken all sorts of abuse, i would think they are quite strong
