The x5 is.fundamentally good. I didn't.have time.to get.a.independent inspection. I did assume.the service.records.would point.at.most any problem. The service history docs are good.to have. The transmission leak was.easy to fix and boy does one need.to service.the trans at.100k if.not.sooner. I didn't know about the oil cooler gasket.issue with these cars or.I.would have.looked.for.that. I will plan to.replace.it once.I.am prepared and fully educated.to.do.the work.

I am.surprised.a.world.class.inspection doesn't.always list issues like oil.drips.
So my conclusion is bmw.service.would.let.a.transmission leak to.dry and.fail?
