So recognizing that ZF has their own recommendations for service intervals on the GA8HP as opposed to BMW's, I checked into a fluid , filter and pan change on the CEO's F32 at my friendly neighborhood dealer. Already armed with FCP Euro's ZF OEM kit price of $303 for fluid and parts, I figured a dealership total of about $650 for the job.


Put your seatbelts on and brace for impact $1700 quoted They wanted $110 per liter for the fluid and $234 for the pan/filter. I'll be doing that one myself.
