In Reply to: 94 740il Tranny whines when cold posted by Steve L on March 10, 2002 at 11:42:04:


I just bought a 94 740il yesterday from of all places e-bay. My first time buying a car online. I did my research and found one with an Alusil motor (only 40k miles old. When I picked up the car it had already been warmed up, Off I went 325 miles home. Today I went out for a drive and 2 things happened.

1. Check engine light was on when cold

2. Tranny whines until warmed up

Both of these problems stop after I came back out of the store and started the now warm car. This is my 8th BMW of various types and my first V-8. I love the car but seem to have a few gremlins to hunt. Any help would appreciated.
