If you've owned a BMW, there is a chance you've owned a GM built transmission...
I forget what years/models, but for some reason I have it in my head that e46 xi cars had GM built automatics in them. I haven't seen anything about them notoriously failing either, not everything from GM is bad, they do make some nice engines and drive-train components...
That being said, I haven't owned anything GM, unless this 6-speed in my ZHP is a GM built unit, I'm not sure, nor does it really matter...
Point is, though, even though you pay for one "badge" doesn't mean there are NOT components from other MFG's in the car. Or from suppliers that supply the same (or similar) products to other car makers, in the end, just about everything is related in a big web, and there is nothing wrong with that IMO. Share the knowledge and technology to make better cars for us all...
