Second, the x5 transmission is equipped with a Plastic Trans Pan, over the course of owner ship, this pan will start leaking, most likely the sealing sleeve is leaking for the mechatronics connector. Most leaks occur at 30k miles. In which during repair your fluid will be replaced if the fluid is dirty.

Quoted FROM THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL:

"Automatic transmission (not shown in
CBS)
Maintenance work:
 Replace ATF at intervals of 100,000 miles."


So not in the CBS, and yes 100k miles.

How they can 'replace fluid at 30k if dirty, but not recommend any service nor even inspection of fluid is laughable.
