Just curious, have you checked to see if the speed sensor is loose/functioning properly?I know you are trying to help Jim out with a easy fix but usually output ss wouldn't affect operation, the input or main shaft speed sensors would though. Have to remember it's a Bimmer. Like the shop told Jim, trans is probably a goner, the tcu probably could tell input shaft was turning and in gear but output shaft not turning so it throws a code not knowing internals are bad. Jim does it show going into gear just not moving?

I dont know, the dashboard lcd where it shows the gears usually just has a big "!" on it. Pulled up to a stop light, started off and it just felt like it slipped really bad, transmission warning light came on, had to pull out of traffic (so it was still working at this point, just not very well) by the time I got off the road it wouldn't go forward at all, which lead me to be believe tranny's got something internal wrong with it (rather then just a sensor).

Damn that's a nice price for someone who is able to do the work themselves. I wish I was going to be in Fargo sometime soon....

How well did the paddle shifters work?They work really well, its wired in to the shift tronic, left is down shift, right is up shift. Same functionality of moving the gear lever up and down but on the steering wheel (alot of the newer 335's and such have this as an option now).

My roommate is looking at M3's and having that as an option opens up many more options for cars that are for sale.

I'm in the twin cities. Are you located near by?I'm in Columbus OH right now for school, and I'm not surely exactly when the next time I'll be home is yet. God damn I'm so tempted, this is my favorite model of bmw, and I could put a new tranny in it. Hmmmmmm
Could you send me some more pics, like of the interior and bay, and do you have the original hood and wheels?

No the original hood got tossed, and I have stock wheels but my dad has an e46 too, they are going to him for winter wheels. I'll take some photos when its not snowing 18" of the bay and interior.

If you still have this in a few weeks I will pick it up.
