there is some good news!
I'm back on "BMW standby". We still have not found the correct transmission for my bike. I'm going to have to wait it out, until BMW ships stock number 23007650007 and most likely that will not happen until late this month.
The one transmission that was found, arrived damaged.
The only other transmissions in the United States are for the newer bikes.
My buddy David Shealey, found and showed me a transmission stock number that does not show up on any dealer screens. (?) The three different BMW dealers that I personally walked through the http://www.realoem.com/bmw/ site were amazed when we got to: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=0555&mospid=47964&btnr=23_0730&hg=23&fg=05
THEN typed part # 23007677941 11/2000 up to 01/04 on their BMW system, only to find that part, in the BMW system, it did not exist.
I did get a bit of good news yesterday: BMW changed their warranty policy in 2005 so that now when you have a BMW dealer install a new component like my engine AND tranny THEY ARE guaranteed for 24 months (NO mileage limitation). I am one happy camper with that.
