BMW uses the same transmissions in their early cars,
and these transmissions are different in that they
use all clutches and no bands. As they age, there is
leakage and the clutches don't completely disengage;
so if they're reved above (some sources say
2,000RPM)
the clutches will burn and your transmission will no
longer work. This occurs in park or neutral and
affects both the 3HP and 4HP. I have seen this occur
as a mechanic friend once reved up a BMW in park to
charge an AC system faster, and after he was
finished
the car wouldn't move.
