    In defense of the F30 328i, we leased one of the dealers loaners for two years as Kpro's company car. It's got x drive and the 8 speed auto. The engine is incredible and the trans is one of the best autos I've ever run We beat the living shit out of it every day. We did 16 runs at the local drag strip and that friggin thing is fast as hell. We put a Burger Tuning JB1 on it and ran consistent 13.4 runs. That's over a full second faster than the best time in my ZHP.
    We did get a drive train malfunction a couple of weeks ago and that limited the boost but the error went away without taking it to the dealer. We'll get it there one of these days but it still has full power and we still beat the crap out of it..
    We're not worried about reliability at all...
    I think you just had some bad luck there. Let them fix it. I bet it will be fine. Most dealers will take care of you.

    Thanks, and yes the dealer has been great to work with. The loaners have been brand new off the lot and delivered to our house 85 miles away. I talked to our service advisor yesterday morning, and she told me it was a defective inter cooler line that broke or came off. I didn't hear from them today so, I'm assuming the part didn't come in yet. I did ask what the trani fluid capacity was and she thought, 7 liters (1.85 gallons).

    I'll update status tomorrow when I know more.

    Glad to hear they're taking good care of you, but have you thought at all that it might have been better to keep the e46

    Thanks, the latest status I got Friday was that the line was in but the fluid hadn't arrived yet. Once the fluid is in, it will be repaired and evaluated for any additional damage caused from driving it. Currently still in the new loaner running free miles.

    Well, we got the car back yesterday. Looks like there was no damage done with the fluid loss, all they did was refill the trani and took it for a 30 mile test ride. The only miles we have on it so far was the trip home that was probably 100 miles with some new mountain road infestation. The only thing that bothered me was that I had to ask them to wash the car for us. At my last dealer in Northern Ohio the cars were always freshly washed after they were serviced.
