I personally believe that the expensive thing is the oil pan, not the ZF fluid. Anyway BMW GB is ZF gearbox, you can try google it, probably you will slowly understand why it is not a typical automatic transmission GB.

I changed mine at a rounded-up price of about $800 during last year June, PM me for more information if require. You are paying for new oil pan/filter, ZF gear fluid and maybe some accessories, it is a price which I also unable to accept when switched from Japanese car, but slowly accepted it.

Hello there. 1.) Ideally how often should I service my car? Having previously owned Japanese cars which I would svc every 10,000km and require low maintenance I've been told that the same shouldn't be done for my F30. No fixed answer for that, but I do drive a 2014 316i and I change at about...

Hi all, apologies for the late feedback. Regarding the initial problem of "Tok" sound, apparently it is due to my upgrade brake pads and rotor, every night my car will be washed, and the liquid will cause the brake dust to somehow dissolve and stick to my rotor, thus there will be this problem...

Haha probably it's their conspiracy theory. Now say everything is ok, then do fancy things and drag time till warranty over, and hope the gear box spoil at the point of warranty over :cool:.

Thanks Whiskie & E60F30 for the reply. Engage D, handbrake off, car does not creep forward, have to gently tap the accelerator following which the Tok sound can be heard. <--- This is what happened again earlier today. How did you go about rectifying it? As for the ATF, I did not change it, I...
