Similar processes but not identical on the X5. Take the video as a basic guide for the X5 as the process will be similar.

From our experience your vehicles which have high mileages changes then transmission failure are the vehicles which already are having transmission problems. On cars with properly functioning transmissions routine service should cause no issues.

We got by the manufactures of the transmission suggestions with our service intervals not BMWs.
