I bet if you change fluid every 70k or so it will last 250k or more...glad they quit calling it Lifetime fluid.
Keep us posted if you fun into any issues please. I'm still debating about changing mine, i'm at about 150000 km. 97k miles.

I would change it for sure. I've had 3 e38s (same transmission) and always had good results. It's those that wait until they have issues with shifting that suffer in the end usually. I use valvoline maxlife, it's better than what is in it now & a decade further along in development.

No, it is the diagnostic software for BMW.

Is this a must after swapping Tcase fluid? (software) What fluid did you use in the tcase?

I'd heard of Progman, but not GT1...Ill look it up.

Thanks!
