In some cases a fluid change will correct a transmission issue. It is more likely it will not. Cost of transmission repair obviously varies by shop. I suggest the first step is to go to a well recommended Indy shop that frequently repairs BMW transmissions for diagnosis rather than wade through speculation that will likely make you feel worse.
A 4.8 is a great choice based on what you have had in the past. To find one with only 80k miles and an extended warranty is good luck.

Thanks for the advise. I will try that on the air suspension. I already tried that on the new air bag, and did not notice anything, but it is tough to see and impossible to get the entire bag with it mounted.
I do plan to visit a transmission shop soon. One of my friends knows the owner of a big transmission shop in Nashville that has been in business for many years. I will find out if they have experience with the ZF transmission.
But just out of curiosity, what are most of you paying to have yours rebuilt? And if I take the transmission out myself would I save a lot (I've pulled the transmission before on my B5 S4 and my M5)?
Here are some screen shots of errors I have take from DIS and INPA.
Suspension (not getting an error anymore after I cleared it)
