I have only had two cars that were AT. All others were MT, and let me tell you, when a dealer starts hitting you for a clutch, that repair estimate can give you a massive heart attack, and it is only climbing higher and higher in this economy. I used to see dealer prices of $2000. God knows what it is now. Plate, throw bearings, etc etc etc etc etc, and then if they want to throw in other things like the Master Clutch Cylinder or things like that, at BMW prices, and then BMW labor charges of $160/hour+. Yes, that warranty covers a LOT!
