Very frustrating indeed, I should note that when I had mine done at 50k miles my X was already out of warranty. I also knew that if I had a tranny failure my mechanic would have installed a new tranny at a more reasonable price than what a dealer would have charged for the same service. I have never really trusted dealers for service, on the other hand my mechanic is an active member of the BMWCCA and his shop is well respected in the SCCA racing circles and BMW communities internationally. Most dealers do NOT participate in the BMWCCA or events and care less about BMWCCA people because they are in the bizz of selling cars (for the most part) to the average consumer. Yes the average consumer, who often doesn't concern themselves with the differences, other than price, between BMW, Lexus, MB...etc.
