The synchro for 2nd gear on my 135m is not working properly so I now have metal bits floating around in the gear oil! car has done 67,000 miles

Garage tell me only solution is a new gearbox. for only 3,700.00

Anyone else had similar problems or is mine just a one off??

That's and expensive failure!

I would try to find a specialist gearbox rebuilder in your area who could just replace the defective synchro and anything else that looks like it could be worn.

Maybe cheaper than a whole replacement gearbox

Let us know how you get on with it

BMW are an excellent company! just heard from them that they propse to supply new gear box at no charge, I just pay fitting and oil

Gold star for BMW

Absolute winner!

Great result...that is really good of BMW, maybe though they know there is an issue with these boxed if they're failing early and only pull them in if the customer complains.
