    Thx Tiger

    Just one thing before I try. I was told the auot box was sealed for life type. Does what you said still apply? (132,000 miles)

    I got the same car. There is not such thing as lifetime... lifetime means 100,000 miles according to BMW. I drained my tranny at 113,000 miles... man! It is horrible!

    The other thing wrong with our tranny is the checkballs that are bound to shrink in size due to wear and tear... that leads to alot of problems for our tranny. A simple valve body overhaul will solve this problem and extend our tranny's life tremendously.
