M6 gearbox fault
Discussion
Drove my 2005 M6 on sunday morning , allowing the oil to warm up and then proceded to put the M button on for a grin factor of 10 . When all of a sudden up came the RED COG and drive moderately etc etc . My heart sunk ,I then switched of left it for 2 mins and started the car again and low and behold it disappeared .
this happened again later that day . I Did no more but called my local BMW dealership in Norwich and booked it in . Thankfully I bought a Car with a Full BMW warranty , thank God I did . As low and behold I got the call from the service department saying that a new Gearbox is too be fitted . I am very impressed with the no nonsense approach of this dealership who by the way gave me a loan car as well . The moral of this story is don't buy a M6 without a BMW warranty . Is this a common fault and what causes it so I can prevent it happening again , as other then this they are quiet robust . ARE'NT THEY ???
