Many of us change oil, check brakes, and have the "common" services performed on our vehicles, however...
Your transmission, a costly and important part of your vehicle could be neglected.
To last as you would expect (and this could be up to 300k miles!) your transmission will need servicing from time to time as well; especially in high performance automobiles like your BMW.
If you have been following BMWs dealer guidelines for transmission servicing, which many do; there are facts you should know if you wish to have the highest reliability and life possible from your transmission:
Most modern BMWs come from the factory with something called "lifetime fill" fluid in the transmission.
This includes both automatics and manuals... What BMW isn't so quick to tell you is that they state 80,000 miles IS that lifetime. This is silly!
We strongly recommend replacing the fluid no later than 100,000 miles or you may be in for an unwelcome surprise; early transmission problems or total failure. What regular flushing of the transmission will offer is a long life of smooth shifting and excellent performance.

This can be likened to eating a healthy diet thats low in cholesterol. If transmission fluid is like the blood of the transmission, we want it to flow freely without any obstructions or clogs, and also we want it to be clean so it can do its multitude of jobs including cooling and cleaning the gears and valves.
We offer complete transmission flush services for both Autos and manuals. This replaces all (Up to 16 quarts in the Auto and 2-4 in a manual) with fresh, correctly specified fluid.
We only use the OEM or better, and completely flush the system with an automated machine. This is much better than the conventional way of drain and fill, where only 5-6 quarts gets replaced, all (16!) quarts are flushed.
If you want your BMW to last for many miles to come, we suggest you give one of our friendly service specialists a call so we can off you a formal quote for this service.
Our Service process is multistage and affordable, that will include the following:
