Transmission fluid leak
Recently I found oil on the garage floor so I brought the car to my mechanics to look at it, and he found out...
Transmission pan leak!!!  Looks like it's a common problem of E90. My mechanics told me I am the second E90 owner who got this problem in this week. The worst is not over... my warranty expired 2 months ago  Cost approx. $800 to fix

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=272818 Also re-check your warranty entitlement, just in case. A couple of members (including Bliss in the other thread) had recently been told that their "2 year" warranty had expired, whereas in fact they were entitled to a 3 year warranty. Luckily the warranty mistake was corrected and the problem was fixed under warranty. 3 year warranty was introduced in Oz on 1 March 2006. Prior to that, standard warranty was 2 years. |

When did u get ur e90? Just ask dealership anyway. Regardless of the warranty period, u should tell them to cover some of the cost to fix it under good will cos it is not something that u would expect to play up in 3 -4 years. Having a good relationship with service department at ur dealership also helps but I would still ask them.
good luck

Congrads. BMW stuff up our car detail when we made a claim on our 530d regarding air-con button. They later on found out that there was system error and we did in fact have 3 years warranty. I think there are few other guys who brought their car in 2006 who also had the same problem.
Good thing it is all sorted.
