Gus, please share whether or not you ran OEM lifetime lubricant and whether it was changed.Gus said:Sounded like the synchro was going (whining noise when in gear) so took it in..Thank God for extended warranty!! 2 weeks wait for the parts grrrrrrr

Always serviced at BMW dealer and engine oil regularly topped up with Castrol TWS as recommended..

Glad the warranty worked.
Please, tell me.
1. Was any gears difficult to engage when the gear-box was cold?
2. Did you hear a whining noise when disengaging any particular gear?
Best Regs,

Gearbox still works fine, just makes a whining noise in all gears when accelerating and decelerating (not very loud but noticeable)
Then it is probably not the sync rings, I think. Is there enough oil in the gearbox?Gus said:Gearbox still works fine, just makes a whining noise in all gears when accelerating and decelerating (not very loud but noticeable)
Just curious: How do you know it is the gearbox and not the propeller shaft or the differential?

Feels like a new car again.:haha:Gus said:Sounded like the synchro was going (whining noise when in gear) so took it in..Thank God for extended warranty!! 2 weeks wait for the parts grrrrrrr
