It is important to understand that you need to change your transmission oil and filter every 50 to 75 thousand miles. BMW marketing is doing everyone a great disservice by claiming the fluid is "lifetime" which is nothing more then a marketing gimmick and goes directly against ZF required maintenance guidelines . Attached is the guidelines and procedures from ZF themselves on changing the fluid.
This honestly should be made a sticky.

Would a BMW dealer do this change if you asked them to, or is this a service that BMW prevents their dealers from doing at all. Just curious.
