Handful of fun issues
2) After some severely heavy continuous rain, I notice a water sloshing sound from my rear air vents. When I put A/C on max I even feel a slight spray. Could this be the product of a under hood/cowl vent having a hole or something allowing water in somehow? This has never happened before. 3) P0735 - Gear 5 incorrect ratio, I took a drive (85-90miles each way) pushing 70-80mph almost the entire time. When I exited the thruway that code popped up and put me into limp mode. I reset the code on the fly got to my destination no problem. When I left same story, towards the end of the trip when I exited the thruway code popped up again. Again I reset it on the fly and got home with no issue. I have never had this code pop up in the past or since. Any help on 1 or all of these issues would be greatly appreciated.

For:
#2 - Maybe the water drains are clogged. You can use some long steel wire and try to slide it through from top to bottom. #3 - I would try the easy stuff first (which might be the correct solution): you might want to change the ATF & filter. The code you posted P0735 happens when you have one of these conditions: ATF low level, dirty ATF, shift solenoids issues, other mechanical problems, electronic issues. If the filter gets clogged (old), you get low level ATF symptoms, which would fall in the: dirty ATF & low level ATF (because you starve the tranny). Just follow the Bentley for this one, it's not very difficult. Be careful to have the 35-50°C temperature (trick: when the tranny has the same temp as your hand, you are at around 37°C - from this point, it will heat up pretty quick to 50°C - that's when you top off your tranny).

changing the ATF worries me. Not at the mechanical ability of doing it but the not so good results I have read about other people changing ATF in these things.

No worries about changing the filter / fluid. just replace what you took out with something that is comparable. No need for BMW fluid, unless you have more $$$ then common sense!

The issue was cured changing the ATF & the filter. The ATF was black as tar, the magnets were 3-4 times their size due to contamination. The filter was getting probably clogged. After doing 2x the ATF in a span of 2 weeks or so, the issue went away. This was in 2007. This year I will do another ATF & filter change. Nothing is "lifetime".
