BMW has further clarified "Life" = 160k km, as the useful life for the vehicle. You fill in the rest of the equation to cater for your personal needs.. :wink:

I read many are practicing ATF change at 60k km interval, which I felt its fair too but bear in mind that every spirited drive the transmission has gone thru, will accelerate degrading of the ATF life.

I saw some calculation somewhere for JDM, every 2 hours of constant speed above 80% of the factory recommended top speed will shorten the recommended ATF interval by half.

Go figure..

I have another problem, almost 2 years old car can't even reach 30k km, warranty almost habis lio!! Which supposedly protect me for 60k km, which ever comes first. The car don't get much chance to go outstation family trip because not enough seats
