1 hr to toss the car on a trans flush machine is 'doable'. Did OP have a detailed "drop the pan, change the ban, reinstall, fill, bring to temp, MEASURE temp, top off" conversation?
Well OP...did you?
Finally, its amazing how people see the ATF maintenance god only after they have shift issues...you wonder where the "ATF fluid change causes tranny issues' old wives tale came about
My bad on the ZF8 vs ZF6 oversight...thx

Whoa easy there buddy, not sure whats up with the attitude but nothing "half-assed" about using Ravenol.
It meets and exceeds ZF's specs, it is not "mixing fluids" You know what is half-assed though? Not doing your homework and Telling him to to get the wrong damn fluid, had he listed to you he would have put in ZF6 fluid and smoked his transmission.
The fault is not with people but with BMW's jerk move of telling everyone the transmission fluid is "lifetime". ZF themselves tell you around 70-80K to change it. People of course dont know that and are just following BMW's crap advise which is nothing more then a marketing move.
