How in God's name you don't understand my point I just don't know.

Think of it like the nav computer. They seal it and don't want anyone screwing with it. Doesn't matter who. Not you and not an indy. If you, your indy or Indiana Jones decides to open it up to 'fix' what ain't broken and it then breaks you cannot expect them to foot the bill.

No more. I'm done here. On to the who has more belly button lint thread...

It's well known that in order to avoid this potential problem you have an authorized BMW service facility perform all service while the vehicle is under warranty. As I said already: This is not unique to changing the transmisison fluid. As a matter of fact it has little to do with changing the fluid (other than that was the work performed).



You don't. If you want the transmission fluid flushed while it's under warranty then take it to an authorized BMW service facility.

The problem is they recommend you "screw with it" at 100K miles. That's where your reasoning breaks down. What part of that are you not understanding?
