is it a 7 series or some Japanese SUV?

Also, if you're as experienced as you claim; You'd probably BMW does not make any transmissions. They've forever outsourced that to ZF or Getrag.

…and General Motors. Up until the ZF 8-speed, pretty much all the good automatic transmissions in BMWs were built by GM.

zf6hp28 and getrag GS7 DCT were far better. GM was only better than the older 5 speed autos.
