THe confusing thisng is that BMW claims the box is sealed for life, and never needs any maintenence, something the specialist seem to disagree with! This box is a ZF, called steptronic I think?
Hoping the fact that it only plays up whens it hot signifies crappy thin oil, but as stated above, I know truck all about autos!
Booked in for the 3rd march to be checked over....
Sealed for life or 100,000 miles to you and me. The ZF in my 5 is coming out this year for a refurb and healthcheck.
If you go on forum.bmw5.co.uk there is a forum post about a guy who does the work on these himself from his place in Scotland and charges £165 if I recall. He is very well respected by the board members and gets a lot of repeat business.
