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 bushing causes wear in E piston

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

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.

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.

First time going to Lone Star Bavarian... my Mini CooperS, BMW 335I and 330CI now have a new home! Outstanding customer service from Nick, Service Advisor to Trent, the Owner. Trent knows his stuff... so refreshing to talk to the man himself. Job on Mini was completed ahead of time so my son and I headed over to pick it up and just happened to bump into to owner. Trent is on another level and a great person to talk to but also VERY knowledgeable. He is a car enthusiast and loves to talk about cars. Lone Star Bavarian creates a welcoming experience and goes that extra step to make sure the customer is satisfied.

First time here and will 100% be back. Very knowledgeable, amazing service and my car was CLEAN on pickup. I know that doesn’t seem like a big deal but it made my day and was a very appreciated surprise! I rarely get time to clean my car so I am very thankful. Car drives like new and the shop was very accommodating. Best place around hands down!

I'd call out specific people, but unfortunately, the entire team there is all awesome. There's a reserved kindness vibe you get from the crew when you arrive, but you can tell they love our four wheeled friends a lot. I brought my car in for maintenance (plugs, coil packs, etc) and some repair of a suspension component that we thought could be covered under warranty. They contacted and advocated to our warranty company and tried to get the repair paid for pretty hard. But...warranty companies...am I right? Anyway, something also occurred where I needed a little bit of body work done (paint fixes) - and Lone Star Bavarian was able to handle that as well. The touch up/repair is perfect, and not only that, it appears they went over and above by removing and restoring some pretty carboned up paint that was on my rear bumper and some scuffs that were on there too. It looks fantastic, and Lone Star Bavarian got it done in a very reasonable amount of time. This was work all done on my 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35i which my wife absolutely loves, so I'm grateful they took very good care of it. These guys are the best. And the little dogs are super cute as well.

I was having issues with my BMW x3 shutting off unexpectedly and taking it to a different mechanic. He couldnt figure out what was wrong so I brought it here and within what seemed like an hour they knew exactly what the issue was. They offered to drive me to work after i had the car towed in. (i had a friend with me giving me a ride so i decline) it was just nice to know they are wanting to go above and beyond for their customers. And thats only the beginning! I thought my car would be in the shop for a couple of days but they had it done the next morning. When I came to pick it up i could tell that they washed the car and vacuumed the driver area. I have a two year old so i dont blame them or expected them to clean the entire inside. it was definitely a great surprise after all the stress of car problems. Nicole at the front desk was amazing. Very sweet and kept in contact with me every step of the way sending me emails and phone calls. When I told her I had to talk to my fiance about the issues and cost before they started everything she was very understanding. She answered all of my questions and concerns as well. At the end they gave me a list of recommendations for my car and discussed the order of importance. The entire time I did not feel stupid for asking questions, talked down too because im a young woman (lets be honest most mechanics roll their eyes at us), or pressured to do anything and for that I wish I could have given them more stars.

Great service. I’ve used them for years on my ‘91 325ic for a variety of issues that arise from time to time on my old car.
