these are the pretty common errors. ans these are the maintenance issues. if u maintain them properly, u won't get these kinda issues easily. do some basic engine related troubleshoot. if the issue persists, take the vehicle to a dealer. http://bmw5series.net/2011-gran-turismo-interior-specs/

I have an 2007 525i BMW, just hit 100,000 miles. I bought it in 2009 (certified Pre Owned) from an BMW dealer. It had 36,000 miles. It is now all mine. All paid off. Started having issues with it jerking and slipping gears last month i was told i needed a new transmission at the cost of around $4000. (at my local mechanics shop) I've kept it in mint condition and its beautiful and did i mention it's paid off!My dilemma is repairing it at the cost and mileage of my car or selling it and getting a new car and start paying again? 4 Answers

Do i spend the money to repair or give up on it? Im afraid the engine will need tlc soon and i have to invest more money!!
