| Transmission jerks and slips. when coming to a stop, the car slams into gear. this could cause a major accident if this occurred during wet or icy road conditions due to breaking traction from wheels and road surface. this is a major concern and after doing some research, thousands of 5 series bmw's have this problem. the result is a defective mechatronics which costs between $5000-$8000 to fix and not covered by bmw or under warranty. *tr | |||

| On bmw with the n62 4.4l v8 engine there's an oil leak on the alternator bracket that leaks for a while until it is inspected and found it leaks oil on the steering components i think causing the steering components to deteriorate after a while causing a safety issue. the oil leak eventually happens to all n62 4.4l v8 engines. *tr | |||
