    Default 525I Transmission sitting for awhile. Should I worry?

    The car is scheduled to be picked up on Sunday AM. I am going to start it and drive it up onto the uhaul rather than trying to muck around with comealongs to get it on board. The car fires up fine but since the trans has not been used in 5 years, should I be concerned? Should I let is warm up a bit before I put in gear to move it? Not sure if they came with manual but in case they came with either, this is an Automatic.

    Should be fine. Don't be surprised to see it leak a bit, especially from the rear seal. This may heal itself after some use.
