What happened to your transmission that required it to be replaced? Also, was some/all the coolant system replacements preventative or did they fail?

Good questions.
1) AT - diagnosed as "porous case leaking fluid"; was discovered upon fluid change at 60k; Out of warranty, but BMW offered to pay 80%; dealer install would otherwise cost $10k
2) proactive replacement on water pump / thermostat; on my previous 335 they failed at 60k; I waited until 77k. I drive a lot long distance in remote areas. Did not want to take a risk getting stranded.
3) Ext hose broke when touched while doing 2)
