Have 2004 e46 325i with 73k miles Auto. Recently changed spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump and oil changed. Maf sensor cleaned every 3 months since I purchased car last November.
I have long road trip coming up in July 24-august 03. It starts off from San Francisco - Yosemite national Park - Las vegas (+hoover dam) and LA (gonna go multiple places) and back to SF. I googled it and it is about 1600 miles (with driving in downtown and yosemite)
I purchased new expansion tank and upper and lower hoses and sensors and new OEM water pump (composite propellers) And thinking of getting thermostat housing.
My concern is that I have transmission problem. It goes limp mode twice-three times a month giving p0733 incorrect third gear ratio. But when I restart car or clear it with obd, it drives fine and never give me problem when driving nor transmission is warm/hot.
However I am bit concerned because I am taking 2 friends to this trip and they have plane to catch at LA. I am not worried about engine but it is transmission that gets me with all that heat from LA and las vegas....and driving it from yosemite to vegas takes 7hours....
Should I just spend 500 bucks to rent ford fusion or risk it. I've talked to bmw mechanic and he is sure that I need new transmission. But as a owner, I don't think it is mechanical problem rather electrical kind.
And also I have some low whining noise coming from under my car (where transmission is) when ever I am in stop with holding down brake.
what do you guys think?
