7 speed transmission rebuilt

So upon further inspection on my tranny, going back to whatever the shop found in the pan when they did the filter and fluid change, looks like The tranny is toast.

Low oil, metal shavings in the pan, etc

So I called up a mechanic who worked on my BMW's before and knew he does tranny rebuilds , and asked how much to fix mine.

He said 2300$ for the rebuild and that comes with 3 year or 30.000 miles warranty, whichever comes first.

Sounds tempting. The car has 70k miles, clean inside out, I'd hate to part it out or sell as is.
What do you guys think?

Bump. Did anyone rebuild their 7 speed? What did you pay for it? I'm just trying to get an idea before I commit to bring it in and have it fixed.

Thanks everyone.

Haven't had the transmission rebuilt, but the quoted price of $2300 is cheap for a transmission rebuild.

You should bulletproof it . If in fact you go about rebuilding...
