What kind of price to remove repair and reinstall the transmission. Additionally what is wrong with the transmission and did you get a second opinion?

My friend had a 2003 525, the seat rails had a well known issue but the car is super comfortable with a fine interior decked out with good looking wood trim and thick leather.

So yes there is a mental chart where you have to guess the rising funds needed to maintain the car in comparison to the funds needed to buy a new car and if either the BMW is significantly cheaper or the BMW rises to new car lay out then... but I would probably stick with the 525 unless I was considering something just as comfortable.
