| Terrible transmission in this car!!!while driving, this car jumps into gear. feels like someone hit me from behind whenever i stop. it also started leaking transmission fluid. after researching this car, i have found out the 745li models are known for transmission problems,and leaks. this car should have a recall on it,because apparently bmw knows this,and has done nothing about it. they should make consumers aware they have ongoing problems with the transmissions. i went to drop car off for repair,and there were 4 other 745li's needing same repair. bmw should be made to recall these cars,and pay to have them repaired,or reimburse us if we already had this fixed. *tr | |||
