I'm no expert but seems like the kind of thing that should be done every 30,000 miles or not at all. Reason being EITHER keep the fluid in there consistently new every two years / 30k OR leave it to age with transmission internals as the entire system ages, which appears to be Bmw spec. |

sorry to hear, maybe your dct tranny lines or filter gaskets leaked out and lost pressure which caused the failure.
its always cheaper to keep her than sink all the money in a new ride.. |

So what signs lead up to this? Any signs of issue? How many miles? Have you ever changed the fluid? Do you use launche control a lot? Things and reasons.

As already said, loss of fluid will cause the shifting issue, could possible get away with a new pan, gasket, and oil. DCT gearboxes are dirt cheap if not.

Join AAA, upgrade to platinum after a year when you are eligible. Free tow up to 100 miles. If you have an old or high mileage car, it’s good. Won’t get you home if you are in a long trip but good locally and at least gives you some choice as to where it goes.

You have annual registration tax. It will be high for a few years on a new car. It takes a certain amount of money to runs government so there is a basket of taxes and you will pay one way or another. We don’t really have low taxes in NH when you consider the big picture.

ALSO, I remembered that I had the car up on the lift last week to check the drive shaft and guibo. I also confirmed that the DCT pan was dry, so no leaks there after replacing the gasket and driving hard on it. Quote:
