1995 325i Transmission

[BobbyG]

Hi. I just bought a used 1995 325i. The transmission switch for Auto or Manual shift seems to have a mind of its own and it will not be in automatic mode everytime we start down the road. Does anyone else have this problem and if so do you have a solution ???
It shifts great when it really is in auto .

i just bought a 1995 325i. car runs smooth, shifts great. however, while driving, there is a humming sound so loud you cant hear the stareo. my first thought was the wheel bearings, because thats what it sounds like, just much louder. so i took the car to a buddy of mine who always has a benz or beamer in the garage. he drove the car, and informed me to have the tranny looked at. does this sound rite to you?
