You are absolutely doing the right thing and ensuring many more years of a solid transmission!

Keep us posted in the future withhow your transmission is operating. I had fluid and filter changed on my E39 at 166,000 miles and the transmission ended up failing about 8 months later. I had no symptoms prior to changing fluid.

I have considered just doing a drain and fill on my X5 but I am a bit skittish.

I changed fluid and filter at 70,000 miles. It looked pretty good. I am about to do it again at 107,000.

A happy tranny = change the fluid / filter every 100k miles ( minimum ) ...

I did mine at 100k and I am currently at 105k and it has never shifted better!

By BMW filter, I meant the same ones that the dealer sell. I thought that was easy enough to comprehend.

Misleading Title.

Respectfully, what do you think the title should have been?

Very good! Well thought out but not as creative, interesting or inviting is it?
