Hi all,
I'm new to this forums and this is my first post,
2-3 months ago, my e60 started to make a strange clunk noise immediately after ignition-on.
At the beginning, I didn't give so much concern, but 3 days ago I was in AGMC for service, and I asked the service advisor about it, he said that this is very common in V6 engines (530) and it means that my transmission is starting to wear out !! and there's no fix for it except to change the whole gear box, and later my car will start to have problems shifting, and transmission errors will start to come up!!, honestly, I didn't believe him very much, and looked for other people who had this issue on the web, so I found that it was a common issue and BMW issued an SIB regarding this problem, and they say that it's completely an integration problem, and it will be fixed only by doing an update for the SW of the car.
The other day, I went to AGMC to collect my car after the service, and I told him about this SIB but he didn't buy it very much, and he told me that if you insist, we will do a programing for your car but we need to change the transmission fluid first, and the whole thing will cost you about 3000 AED.
So, anybody have gone through this problem ?? or have any ideas of what it could be?? and also, if possible, is there any reliable place to do the programming cheaper than AGMC ?
Please help, and thank you all for your time :)
