[QUOTE="fugowitz, post: 300928, member: 7492"] If changing transmission oil has been an ongoing regimen, keep the interval at 50K Km. If transmission oil has never been changed for a relatively high mileage (i.e. >100K Km), then better not do it. BMW recommended transmission oil is LifeLong (such as ESSO LT11701... which cost a bomb/ liter if changed in AB or Sapura). Most workshops use non approved transmission oils ( such as ZF and other brand). They reckon since the transmission was manufactured by ZF, it should be OK to use ZF oils. I would rather stick to BMW approved transmission oils. I've seen mechanic changing transmission oil on beemers. The last few liters 've to be pumped in. If what was drained does not equate what was put back in, you will like face problem with the transmission (in the short to medium term). Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
