Then I mentioned to them that:1. Auto Bavaria says it is a lifetime ATF2. Some BMW tranmission died after doing the flush. To which they have responded:1. Nothing is lifetime (i agree with them)2. They have been doing ATF flush on many E46 and none has encountered any problems. 2a. They explain that for ATF change, they do not try to dislodge any clog up fluid, etc as this will be very damaging to the tranmission. Once the new ATF fluid is in with the new ATF filter, the tranmission will automatically clean itself out. The result will be a smoother tranmission.With that answer from Heritage, I let them change my ATF.So far gearbox no problems.  Tranmission is smoother. Wish I have done it earlier as I wonder maybe it will prevent my tranmission jerking (from second to third gear) problem from happening in the first place. Well they have a proper workshop with a GT1 computer. Fast service so they know their stuff. Show me all the replaced parts when I ask to see it.Should you decide to go to heritage please be informed that they won't be the cheapest even after having to negotiate with them. So it is all up to how comfortable/secure you feel with a particular workshop and their price. I believe Supergripen is the sweedish fighter jet? I think mine more ganas. Valkryie can transform into batalloid and kick some serious ass.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
