We're not so much paranoid as impatient with your stupidity. *You*
seem to be the paranoid one. I mean, why post this again? Do you think
there's secretly a huge group of people with failed automatics who
only speak of them when you're not around and you hope to catch them
out? There's been no epidemic of failed autos since your last foray
here, no significant influx of new E46 owners, no change in the
status.
Instead, why not check somewhere else? Anywhere else? EVERYWHERE
else? The one thing people on the net like to do is complain, so even
the most cursory research should turn up reams of information if this
were a real issue. Or have the Gamma people initiated a cover-up?
Second, perhaps your methodology of checking ONE place over and
over again is typical since - according to you - you were all set to
buy an E46 3-series when you read ONE post from ONE - ahem, "other" -
PERSON saying that his transmission failed after blah years and
unsubstantiated maintenance driven who-knows-how poorly and you
decided that ONE instance was enough to write off the entire model run
and forestall your purchase.
The answer now is the same as before: if you're worried about the
devastating possibility that the auto trans *might* fail, DON'T BUY
ONE. You don't like this group? DON'T POST HERE.
But you might want to avoid walking as well. I saw someone last
week walking on crutches, turns out he'd broken his leg! I had no idea
legs were prone to these sort of failures, I find the situation
*completely* unacceptable, and I'm currently researching the
manufacturer or designer of legs to discuss this shoddy workman****p.
My own legs have given me no trouble so far (indeed, I've completed
several marathons with them) but the idea that they're breakable has
really put me off the entire product line.
I've read that in Scandinavia they're working on replacement parts
made from rather nice wooden blocks. You appear to be using their
"head" replacement unit - how did you find the service?
