Awesome video- wish I could do this (diy). But super clean service brother

Thank you, sir! Following your instructions in this video I just did partial change of transmission liquid on my F46, which has the same Aisin gearbox. The car did 70k km prior to this change. I did a total of 4 replacement cycles, adding 16l of new transmission liquid, the end ratio is then 70% new and 30% old liquid. The result was immediately obvious with a smoother switching of gears, lower revs in general and less noise. In my opinion there should be a regulation in place to force car companies make gearboxes more serviceable, so that this change could be done easier and completely (like for engine oil). BMW currently declares that no such gearbox service is needed, hoping that people will just buy new cars sooner instead of maintaining ones they already have. Something to keep in mind: if you change the transmission liquid immediately after driving (like I did, since I had to drive to a specially equipped DIY garage to do it), keep in mind that the temperature of the transmission liquid will be around 100 C, so take necessary precautions when draining (esp. the first drain). Also, when setting the level at the end be aware that the oil will already be at around 60 degrees C, so draining to set the correct level has to start without any delay. The whole operation took just under 1.5h for 2 people working together. Great job, keep it up!

thanks for letting me know your experience 🙂. I am glad the video helped.

if you start the engine for 10 seconds with the gb drain plug out you will get another liter or so out, also i find 3 drains are required to finaly get clean ATF in the gearbox so 3 drains and a 4th fill, this should be done every 25 to 30 thousand miles

Do you have to use the specific Check ATF Level program in the scan tool, or is it enough to just know the temperature and have it in park with the engine running?

hi, the procedure is checking level at temperature while engine is running. there's no level sensor I believe.

There is a filter for this transmission as I've seen the transmission disassembled. I came here because I was looking for videos to see if it's serviceable without pulling the transmission. 100% positive there is a filter though.
