Answer
 Ash,
 I need you to be more specific in what you are asking.  

 Have you checked the transmission fluid level?  Have you had the transmission fluid changed lately?  It could probably use a new filter, and transmission fluid.

 Try this first, then come back and see me

 Thanks,
 Josh

Expertise

I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.

Experience

I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
