I have been to BMW dealership who told me there is a lifetime oil, they suggest me to not change oil, but i can understand a lifetime oil in a compact transmission that work all the time and gear work all the time???? DO you know why my trans jerks when comming on a stop, i mean from the 1rst gear to 2nd gear hardly sometimes? when the car is cold the gear shift from 3rd to 2nd itself, so do you think a new flush oil will resolve the problem?

thank you

@AdamMotors I had the same issues and they are all gone now I would do the full service not just oil and filter but also have them clean the brain and change all the little balls in the brain that help it shift smooth. search on google for zf homerraas dortmund that will give you a post on bimmerboard have a look to see what they all can do for you

Hi, does ZF change tranny fluif for E65 (735i??) How much do you think will cost me? My trans jerks and when the car is cold the gear shift from 3rd to 2nd itself, after the car is hot everything much better

[Homerraas]

@AdamMotors Yes they do, a FULL service not just oil is about 400
