Re: Help needed.e90 320i gearbox overheated
The ZF gearbox is pretty advanced and overheating is not normal - this is what ZF says you should do if overheating happens ...... Quite surprise the autologic did not pick up any DTCs despite it showing up on the dash as a red gear .....

I recommend all bros to replace the oil coolers for EO and ATF.
Mine had failed prematurely at 60k km and I had ATF inside my cooling system and coolant/water inside my transmission. It was one horrible experience, and I hope by sharing that no forummers here would ever have to go through what I went through.
Of course, it was made much better by R2D who responded to my emergency at 10pm in the night and worked through past midnight to rescue my car. This kind of bros (and lady), priceless man....

Re: Help needed.e90 320i gearbox overheated
When the gearbox overheats, there is a couple of reasons.
1. You may have been gunning the car with very high loads (i.e. towing a load up a steep incline) But as we are singapoor people, very slim chance of this happening..
2. There is not enough ATF or its the wrong within the system to properly lubricate the system and this increases the heat load that the cooling system must deal with. ( this also quite rare)
3. The cooling system for the car is not up to scratch. i.e. There are blockages within the system that stops the cooling function from occurring. This can be in the form of air flow or coolant flow. The mechanic must check for these problems.....
Good luck
