Has anyone done a Transmission filter and fluid change and caused more issues?

Go to the ZF site and read what the manufacturer recommends.... Change the filter and fluid on a regular basis (at least every 100,000 kms or 60,000 miles).
Would you drain the engine and put the same dirty oil back in? The same principle applies to any mechanical component, regardless of 'dislodging built up deposits', which can happen at any time IMHO.

Actually, ZF published that they support BMW's factory recommendation.

But if you go to the ZF Service site (a group that doesn't make transmissions, but which is a division of ZF which sells service parts and fluids for them) they will happily tell you to change the fluid. Follow the money.
