For those of you that have been thinking of servicing your automatic transmission but not doing it because of the pro's and con's discussed, just do it.
I did mine today and the fluid was definitely dirty and my car has only 60k on it. The filter was fairly clean with only a few small specs of stuff in it but still installed a new filter kit.
Used Long Life Pentosin fluid. Cheap but still cost me a $13/liter and I used six! I think the dealership is ALOT more!
It's probably psychological but shifting seems smoother. Regardless, good to have fresh fluid in there.
For those that are skeptical, I've got two good friends that are BMW master mechanics (both have worked at a dealership) and both say the same thing, do you think there's such a thing as "lifetime"?
