BMW Company Recent History

BMW has an outsized reputation for being on the cutting edge of technology in the automotive field. This was garnered from their “New Class” of cars that were released in the 1970s and continued through the 1980s. Since 2002, BMW has focussed less on keeping value in the car from sturdy construction and reliability. As more expensive technology has taken over the design process, in addition to becoming more integrated into the systems of the vehicle; BMW has lowered their emphasis on long-term reliability and so all current BMW drivers have a harder, more expensive experience owning these vehicles. We can help you trust your Bimmer’s reliability by keeping tabs on all of your BMWs systems every time you come in for service.

Repairing a BMW ZF 6hp26 Transmission

Worn clutch disc on top left, worn bushing on the right.

Worn bushing causes wear in E piston

Piston seal deterioration.

When the 6hp26 is removed we always have to look for greenish leaks from crank seal and upper coolant passage. This one was leaking from the upper passage.

Mechatronics seal in the 6hp26 and 6hp19 will crack with age and miles and cause the trans to leak pressure. The common characteristic of this is when you shift into drive or reverse it immediately shifts itself back into park

These two pics show wear from mileage and improper service regimens.

This E Clutch was in a lower mileage 6hp26 that had been run low on fluid from a leak that was left unattended. If you service with us regularly, we catch these leaks early so you won't need expensive services like these, as early as shown in this case.

This is the same 6hp26 transmission with low mileage wear from unattended leaks.

The pan on the left is for non-stop/start transmissions. The stop/start transmissions, on the right have a reservoir that holds fluid and pressure and keeps fluid moving through the transmission when the vehicle stops.

Another view of a cracked mechatronics seal on the right. The pic above is the mechatronics/valve body and the seal is sandwiched between it and the transmission body, inside the pan.

Great customer service. Extremely knowledgable. Willing to take time to explain all the details of the pre-purchase inspection we hired them to perform, which was great because we were purchasing the vehicle from far away. They instilled confidence in the results of the inspection.

Just like any European car they are expensive to repair. But the work performed was timely and with accuracy.

Trent at LSB was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable when it came to my car with after market wheels. Where as the people at Sewell BMW just went after the simple solution, Trent took the time to analyze the problem and come up with a solution. They are extremely thorough and just don't tell you what you want to hear, but what you need hear in manner you can understand. There prices are very reasonable compared to the BMW service centers. For anyone that owns a BMW, I recommend going to LSB before going to a BMW service center.Thanks Trent....

MB dealer diagnosed a front differential leak. Lone Star gave a second opinion: No differential leak. Leak was from front timing cover and was oil not differential fluid. Repair was half the dealership quoted price and addressed the real problem. Took them a while to get to it, but they did a great job. Also they gave me a ride back home when I dropped off the cat. Very pleasant to deal with.
