Bmw admits that it is a manufacturing defect but refuses to repair or replace windows. Bmw dealer estimates cost to replace windows is nearly $6000.

What 1999 BMW 750IL owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
There were no events leading up to the failure. The transmission on my 1999 bmw 750il screamed, & roared and lurched into foward and than nothing. No forward or reverse. At this time nothing has been done to correct the failure. From all the internet sites I have researched including the federal safety agency it appears that this vehicle should be one that has a faulty transmission and yet bmw and the dealer say no and deny any liability. Your help in this matter will be most appreciated. The federal safety agency recall id # is 99v005000. Thanks.
Vehicle is equipped with dual windows. Windows are starting to separate at top and in the middle. Please provide any further information.
