change atf oil every 15k to 20km...

That is a very bad advise bro ... wasting money and throwing out gearbox oil which is still good for at least another 20k. the norm is to change every 50k and you're good to go. For me personally tho i change every 30-40k if budget permits that is ...

i change the ATF every 40,000KM, if you drain the ATF at 30,000, u can see that the ATF is still gold in colour (still clean)

A lot depends on your style of driving but 40k sounds about right tho .... but changing at 15-20k is a total waste of money.

Bro zeedo, you did it at AB Kuantan or other BMW mechanics in kuantan? I'm looking for alternative BMW specialist workshops to go to for my future servicing/repairs. Any contacts to share bro? Thanks.
