When BMW changed service recommendations, they also changed transmissions. 5 speeds, 6 speeds, 8 speeds, etc. But some people looked at the new service recommendations and decided that they were retroactive to older models. BMW certainly could have changed service recommendations on past models, but they would have told owners. I have never received such a notification. Maybe others got a letter.

That's what the Mercedes dealer told me when we were looking at the ML 320 CDI, but somehow my OTD price on the X5 with "prepaid" maintenance was still cheaper than his ML without "prepaid" maintenance.
