Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
My suggestion is the same as it was before
"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.........

This discussion has been going on since day one and the failure rate
of transmissions based on the "lifetime" fluids" issue
or change it conclusion has never met a formal complaint
criteria against BMW period.

As such, they should bear a great portion of the financial burden incurred for any 2000-2008 BMW X5 transmission that has failed before, say, 150k miles.
