Mercedes tranny died at 125K miles. You are correct, we don't know what the longevity issue of the new 6-speed auto tranny until the next few years. However, given BMW's track record with auto trannies, it hasn't been great lately.

My ZF auto tranny in my E30 lasted 295K miles.

However, there are quite a few 5-speed ZF auto tranny in Mercedes are dying before 100K miles. The particulars are that Mercedes also had this "lifetime fill" ATF BS just like BMW did.

Just curious, in your 335i, does BMW recommend ATF fluid changes at 100K miles now or earlier?
