: Last week I posted a question about 'trans prog fail' fault condition which happened when my wife was driving the car. Since then we swapped cars and I have driven it every day for around 500 miles in sport, adaptive and manual shift modes. I have sat in nose to tail traffic and blasted down the freeways. Nailed it from a standstill and driven slow. Could not replicate the fault at all.
: My wife got in the car this morning and drove 10 miles before 'trans prog fail' appears on the OBC!!! What is she doing to our car?
: I have it booked into the Stealer next week for fault readout so hopefully the mystery will be resolved then. Maybe 8 series just object to women drivers ;-)
Dear Steve:
I don't have the mathematical aptitude to calculate the statistical probability of your wife's driving the "baby" and having the fault lite appear, while, when you drive...nothing.
As a relatively new, unmarried owner, I have only allowed my father to drive...and that was as I drove along side to see what she looked like...that's known as a "car-to-car" in the auto world ( I'm in Motown ).
It's clear to me that your wife has no business in the driver's seat =) And no business as a passenger if she's eating or drinking anything...what if she bumps a curb... I don't know what tires and rims you have, but one "woops" at the Neiman Marcus parking lot...well you get the picture...
God willing, I'll have my "baby" when I die...in fact, I'm keeping my eyes open for a "project" car...a 6-speed to add to the collection...I just hope I never pull up to a light pull along side a teenager who's picked one up for $16k and put illuminatied black lights under the carraige...I think I'd have to shoot him....I remain,
Very truly
