[QUOTE="1996E36328i, post: 121704, member: 2078"] the ATF fluid in the gearbox deemed as Lifetime ATF is actually means 100,000km. Don't believe? Call BMW Munich or write to them and ask. It has been misintepretted here locally and misused the word 'lifetime ATF', even by authorised SC. If your gearbox don't koyak, ppl got no biz. All biz tactic for owners to spend money. The ATF is like other oil, it can never and will never last for a lifetime until the earth kabooms. There is always a lifespan. Heat kills the oil Keep it happy by flushing and change the fluid frequently. Why let the gearbox give up earlier when actually it can last longer? And our gearboxes are not cheap to rebuild. The ill effects won't be seen early, it takes a couple of years or quite some mileage before the ill effects is seen or heard. [/QUOTE]
