It is hard for me to believe that there are people who own BMW 550i GT Models who need replacement transmissions. I say this since the 550iGT was introduced in 2009. While this may be an unusual circumstance, it exists in small quantities. When we, [GotTransmissions.com] encounter someone who drives for a living and racks up unreal mileage, there is good news, we may be one of the only transmission supply companies with BMW 550i GT Transmissions for Sale.
Other occurrences can lead to an early, or premature transmission failure. Such as a transmission leak. Transmission leaks are not necessarily sensitive to the age of a car. So, make sure you look under your BMW, or any type of car [for that matter] you drive on occasion to see if it has left it’s mark, so to speak, in transmission fluid. It’s also advisable to have the transmission fluid checked by a qualified professional every month, or if you think something is not working properly.
Having said that maintenance is important is one thing. Now lets speak about the 8 speed automatic overdrive transmission used in said car. It’s only fair to mention all automatic transmissions use a torque converter [instead of a clutch as in a manual transmission] with a lock up clutch in it, thus giving the effect of 9 forward speeds. It blows my mind and I have been a transmission man for over 30 years.
Using the ZF 8HP eight speed transmission designed by ZF Corporation in Germany, it is for rear wheel drive cars only. Often called a F/R layout, or longitudinal mounting system. Essentially it is a front engine, rear wheel drive vehicle, using a driveshaft to connect the transmission to the rear differential. Although there is nothing ordinary about a BMW setup.
