You already know the ten things you should never do to your BMW's automatic transmission. But after that video, BMW owners kept telling me the same thing: "You missed one."
So I went back and found ten more mistakes. Part 1 was mostly about how you drive. This one covers what that video didn't: things that happen in the parking lot, at the repair shop, and on the back of a tow truck. And several of them can make a perfectly good transmission look like it's dying.
Here's why it matters. Your BMW's automatic transmission is one of the most expensive parts of the car to replace. Depending on the model and who does the work, it's often in the range of $4,000 to $7,000, and it can be more.
And stay with me to the end, because the last one on this list could save you more money than all the others combined.
Let's start with one that most owners would never connect to their gearbox.
