There have been so many transmission fights pro and con
about changing the fluid that no one will ever agree.
Just do a search and see what I mean.........

Frankly, if Toyota can step up to the plate and recall so many 5 year old and newer vehicles due to throttle issues, BMW should be able to do the same for the X5 transmission issues ESPECIALLY since they were originally tagged as NOT needing fluid changes for the LIFETIME of the vehicle (and if the "lifetime" for a transmission on a $60k luxury vehicle is not more than 150k miles, that's pathetic).
