The differential case developed a slow leak, but was in good mechanical condition. I authorized the shop to replace the leaky seal and pre-emptively replace the output shaft seals to reduce the risk of future leaks. |
2001 BMW 5-Series 4dr Sedan
394-horsepower 4.9L V8 6-speed manual RWD

Had the clutch replaced. As clutch ages, self-adjusting mechanism binds and makes clutch slow to fully engage. |
| 112840 mi C $180 |
Giubo replaced. Regular maintenance item on this car. |
| 66000 mi US $400 |
Differential seals were leaking and thus replaced. |

2001 BMW 5-Series 4dr Sedan
225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD

Automatic transmission oil sump leak. I sent the automatic gearbox for to perform a "re-conditioning" by changing affected seals with new. Seem OK so far now. |
| 130000 mi US $130 |
Vehicle went into limp home mode. Shop identified a slight transmission leak at the pan and added fluid. |
2001 BMW 5-Series 4dr Sedan
225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed manual RWD
| 166000 mi US $2990 |
New clutch. No issue I could identify - i.e. it seemed to work fine. Mechanic said it was a mechanical issue - throwout bearing sounds like it may be right. |
