I was under the impression you could get the trans temp reading by going through the DIS procedures for checking or filling the trans fluid. Can someone who has done this with DIS confirm? It seems so critical to the process, I can't imagine BMW would leave it to every mechanic to have a hand held pyrometer to measure temp at some randomly chosen point on the trans. I do plan to go through the level check procedure in DIS within the next month or so. When I do, I'll snag some screen shots. Would be good to know beforehand though
Cheers.
