Mine does not have idrive, the 2001 did not have that option yet. I didn't do much to the fluids. I drian and re-filled the differential around 220,000 and drained and re-filled the transmission with new fluid, but I did not change the filter. It's up to you if you bought the 06 new and put the 72,000 miles on your self and you plan of keep the X for a long time then you may consider changing all the fluids and doing it on a regular maintenance schedule. But its really up to you.

I am not sure if I got lucky or not, BMW builds amazing machines. I am stilling running and just passed the 309,000 and still driving her hard. She likes it and built to take it. The transmission finally died at 308,000 but I had it rebuilt and we are back at it. I want to see 400,000 out of the motor

Cost of rebuilt tranny?

I see that your tranny died at 308,000. What were the symptons. What did the rebuild entail and how much?
I'm at 255,000 and somewhat apprehensive that if the tranny goes I might just part it out.

My Indy pulled the tranny and I shipped it to a shop in Cali, Peter something I can't remember right now but they were excellent to work with. They rebuilt it and shipped it back for $ 2800.00. They offered a unlimited milage warranty for 2 years. My Indy charged $ 1000 or so. All in I spent around $ 3800. The X is now back on the road being abused and loving it.
