Bro cccc - try first flashing of the trans oil and changing it. $$ maybe around $500. If you need to service the gear then maybe better to look for a recon box (not easy to find but guess there are some in the market). My experience with my 320 is that flashing can extend gb life by another 30-40k km.

Re: Coming 5 years old E60
When i received my car i change tranny oil and filter which it clocked 105k km nvr replace by ex owner. I saw oil drain out was super thick and sludge came out also. Think that might replace again end of december after 30k on last replacement.

Re: Coming 5 years old E60
Thanks for the advises. Appreciate them.
Since I'm deciding on servicing my transmission I may be considering doing a more comprehensive service for a peace of mind.
Just bought this E60 recently and unsure if ex-owner actually did any maintenance on this part. So I would like to find out more feedbacks from experienced bros in this forum to firm up on my decision.

Most important check cooling pump, tranny and steering pump condition. It will be painful if it failed to function.

Re: Coming 5 years old E60
If u are changing the transmission oil, if it the oil came out thick , my humor advise is to change only half instead of the full 8L . The gear box may not react positively after the sudden change in pressure.
U may want to change the oil again after another 20000-30000km down the road.

This is what workshop told me too, ask me replace after 20-30k after first replacement instead of replace all on last time.

Re: Coming 5 years old E60
Thanks for your advice. But my opinion is totally opposite of yours. Unless you are using a different grade or wrong transmission fluid, a fresh change of fluid will yield positive reaction.
Today just visited one of the sponsored workshop to try out their services. After the transmission service, my transmission engage more smoothly as compared to pre-service. They are recommending an interval service at every 60, 000km.
