[QUOTE="nsbone, post: 37699, member: 137"] It can get overfilled. Overfill makes your gearbox sluggish. So it's good suck out from dipstick a little bit. Buy the small rubber hose from hardware shop and stick it in the dip hole and suck... (make sure you check while engine is running). But overfilled should not "burnt" the ATF.If it's burning smell, then u need to replace the ATF. Any metal particles/debris found too in the ATF (may need more attention/TLC/trans replacement?) I have mine last drained/refill for about 2 years and recently i just drained and refilled with the 3litres u r referring to. So far so good.Why it's burning smell? That's a good question. How about the ATF color, brownish? Best u should drain out as the ATF characteristic might be lost. Do a 3 litres by 3 litres drain/refill. Buy a branded ATF if it's not from BMW ATF. Dont use ATF branded for car manufacture etc Toyota ATF, Nissan ATF etc, even it's dexron III compliant.Some suggested that if u revv the engine at high RPM for prolong time with the gear box at neutral.. blah blah (i think u know?)....
