questions on steptronic tranny in r53

[simon90248]

I have and 06 r53 that I bought new, It now has 44,500 miles on it. It has the Aisin 6 speed paddle shift tranny . I've never had any problems with it. My factory 4 yr. warranty runs out next week. Should I buy some sort of extended warranty insurance to cover the mechanicals or just wait and see.Has anyone had any long term experience with this tranny. Ron Simon

I've heard of huge repair bills when the auto trans fail $3K/$5K depending on damage ect

I guess it's up to you if you want to gamble you can see the bill ...

Mini as well as others do offer extended warranties , check and see exactly what they cover and how much they cover most offer different levels of coverages , deductibles and remtal cars ect
