SUBJECT

Transmission Failures Due to Incorrect Installation

MODEL

All

SITUATION

Transmission failure and damage can result from the incorrect installation of the transmission.

These transmission failures and or damages are often caused by damaged, misaligned or missing dowel bushings between the engine block and the

2010 BMW 328xi Coupe AWD (E92) L6-3.0L (N52K) Page 88

transmission housing. The resulting transmission-to-engine misalignment will gradually wear off the splines on the input shaft of the clutch cylinder

until power transfer is no longer possible.

The failure symptom relating to the misalignment is a popping sound while driving,loss of forward and reverse gears and finally totals failure of the

transmission. Transmission failure may occur between 1,000 and 25,000 miles after removal of the engine and or transmission depending on the

severity of the misalignment.

Misalignment of the transmission to the engine can also occur as a result of improper engine removal procedures (transmission is left in vehicle

during short block replacement), etc.

It is imperative that the proper procedures, tools and equipment necessary to repair or replace an engine or transmission be used. Additional

installation information can be found in SI B11 05 11 "Engine Removal and Installation Tips".

See attached document describing the damage that will result from improper transmission installation.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

The warranty does not apply to the following:

Damage that results from improper repair.

SITUATION

If repairs involving the removal and installation of the engine become necessary, the transmission must always be removed first as outlined in the

repair manual.

Note:

Always support the engine and transmission using the appropriate special tools to avoid automatic transmission oil pump damage due to engine and

transmission "sagging" at the mating point (engine block to transmission bell housing) before the fastening bolts are removed.

Before reinstallation of the transmission, the dowel sleeves must be removed from the transmission bell housing and installed in the engine block as

outlined in the repair manual and shown in the illustration below.

Note:

The transmission bell housing and engine block mating surfaces must always seat flush with each other (dowels seated in holes) before the bolts are

installed and tightened to avoid damage as seen in the illustrations below.

Failure to follow the proper repair procedures will result in engine and or transmission damage due to engine/transmission misalignment.

during short block replacement), etc.

It is imperative that the proper procedures, tools and equipment necessary to repair or replace an engine or transmission be used. Additional

installation information can be found in SI B11 05 11 "Engine Removal and Installation Tips".

See attached document describing the damage that will result from improper transmission installation.

SITUATION

If repairs involving the removal and installation of the engine become necessary, the transmission must always be removed first as outlined in the

repair manual.

Note:

Always support the engine and transmission using the appropriate special tools to avoid automatic transmission oil pump damage due to engine and

transmission "sagging" at the mating point (engine block to transmission bell housing) before the fastening bolts are removed.

Before reinstallation of the transmission, the dowel sleeves must be removed from the transmission bell housing and installed in the engine block as

outlined in the repair manual and shown in the illustration below.

Note:

The transmission bell housing and engine block mating surfaces must always seat flush with each other (dowels seated in holes) before the bolts are

installed and tightened to avoid damage as seen in the illustrations below.

Failure to follow the proper repair procedures will result in engine and or transmission damage due to engine/transmission misalignment.

RHT Stops Opening in the Stacked/Extended Position

MODEL

E93 (3 Series Convertible)

SITUATION

When opening the Retractable Hardtop (RHT), the RHT panels stack and the trunk lid opens, but the RHT stops in this position and will not move

into the trunk.

CAUSE

The contact mechanism for the "roof package stowed" hall sensor is stuck down, causing the sensor to always read "No". This incorrect status

prevents the RHT from continuing its operation.

CORRECTION

Ensure that the contact mechanism can move freely so that the hall sensor status will change as necessary.

PROCEDURE

1. Inspect the "roof package stowed" hall sensor contact mechanism (1) to verify that it is in fact stuck in the down position.

2. Remove the hall sensor bracket by releasing the 2 fasteners (1).

NOTE:

Mark the location of these fasteners with a paint marker prior to removal, to ensure the correct position upon reinstallation.

3. Inspect the contact for the hall sensor:

^ If the contact is difficult to move but is not bent, lubricate the pivot point with silicone spray and ensure the pivot is not binding.

^ If the contact is bent and binding, bend it back into the correct position such that it will move freely.

^ If the wire harness leading to the hall sensor has come free from its retaining clip, thus trapping the contact, secure this harness back into the

retaining clip.

4. Reinstall the hall sensor, making sure that the fasteners are back to their pre-removal position.

5. Ensure proper RHT operation.
