I really don't think you would ever believe there was an issue with this if your mechanic said so himself.
I've spoken to my mechanic, who has 25 years repairing BMWs, about this issue. He doesn't feel there is any risk to changing the fluid. And he has done it many, many times.
Even JCL has qualified the risk as slight.
Once again, how do we know your mechanic is reputable. Many indy mechanics say there is no problem with changing the fluid. There was another thread posted here a few weeks back where someones "reputable" mechanic told them Mobil 1 was the best oil for BMW's... 
That is their right. I'm not surprised to hear there are some shops which believe this urban legend. |
Like I said, there is eveidence pointing to the contrary, it just doesn't mesh with your personal bias. You do seem somewhat disrespectful by the way your repeat urban legend over and over.
