[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 74813, member: 81"] Ya a shame JPB only called in at the workshop when his tranny fluid was being drained...ack Its much higher risk if you ask me changing tranny fluid on the E46 esp when you pass 50k kms than NOT touching the tranny at all. Word has it that BMW "lifetime" oil means ~160k kms under normal conditions.... which should be err roughly another 8 years for me before I hit that mileage. If I end up keeping the car at the end for 12 years in total (4 yrs now) then a tranny swap at that time is acceptable to me la. Most likely I'll be driving something else la within the next 8 years :) .. so I am definitely not touching the tranny oil if I dont have to. [/QUOTE]
