Hi all,
My very first post. I just aquired a 1995 525iT, automatic T at 97k in the san fransisco bay area. The service records do show a history of air conditioning problems in which a the water pump, radiator, thermostat, etc have been investigated and changed which I believe will inherit. Here are a few questions or concerns.
a) the last oil change was at 94k. An idependent bmw repair specialist (he races bmws) says I should be good to go till about 100k before requiring a change. Reading the posts on this forum advices between 3k to 5k between changes. A second opinion would help.
b) The last ATF change was at 79k. The repair specialist says that the transmission fluids on these were usually made to last a lifetime. But I should not worry about a change until another 60k to 80k. I recall the posts on this forum recommend every 3k to 5k or 8k. I am really nervous about this. I am aware that the transmission won't last forever, but I want to take care of it in the best possible way, cheaply, before an expensive repair. Advice would help.
c) The rear windows do not work from both the center controls and the doors themselves. Motor problems?
Thanks All
