RMFD = remanufactured...that sucks but figures but I'm suprised they didn't void your warranty...that seems to be what BMW likes doing lately

oh well still good as new to me. added 30k miles on it and still runs like a champ..

Why would they void the warranty. They suggested it.

Sean, thanks for posting this.

Btw, I just had my tech check the SIB and the correct number is 23 01 09 in case anyone has the same issue.

My transmission was replaced with new after 20k km due to what was deemed as excessive chatter in neutral. The chatter is normal in the M3 manual gearbox but BMW Australia thought it was too much for passenger comfort. New gearbox straight from Germany inside a week and changed. Also they changed the transmission oil after 2k km run-in. When it comes to warranty issues todate I haven't had any problems with BMW Australia. I have been lucky.
