[QUOTE="macdaque, post: 435892, member: 2704"] Apparently when I questioned AB once, the technicians were confused over the difference between "Life Long" and "Long Life". They thought never need changing i.e. "Life Long", but then found out it is supposed to be "Long Life" i.e. last a little longer than normal. Is this true? After that, I found out that latest recommendation is that ATF be changed every 20k-30k. Because of the confusion and what they thought was "Life Long", now they dare not recommend change for those who have not changed - apparently the sudden change in viscocity will kaput the gearbox. Mine happened with previous e46 325i. Changed ATF at 90k, then one week after that gearbox kaput. Luckilly within 3rd year and AB gave goodwill warranty. Any other experiences anyone else? [/QUOTE]
