[QUOTE="gendong, post: 756587, member: 22402"] Its an aggressive discussion when it comes to this ATF change issue. Yes its true BMW says the ATF is lifetime, but the transmission manufacturer themselves (ZF) recommends to change the ATF oil at an interval, to prolong the life of the transmission. Here's the catch, BMW gives u a warranty of 5 years. that 5 years, to BMW, is considered the 'lifetime' of ur car (assuming u buy brand new), and then they expect u to upgrade/change to a newer car. does that make sense? We have had multiple owners, who has no issues with the transmission, even without changing the AFT. but those who changes the ATF at intervals, enjoy their rides to hundred of thousands of miles. For me personally, its part of my preventive maintenance on my car. Just need to find the right mech who knows the proper procedure. [/QUOTE]
