I have an 04 530i with an automatic transmission. My mileage is 92000. Should I change the lifetime fill transmission fluid when I get near 100000 miles? If I do change it should I only change the pan/filter and the fluid in there? I want to keep this car for at least another 100000 or 200000. Thanks.

However, if you NEVER changed it, I would advise against doing it for the first time at 100,000.
BMWs could be different however.

I have only owned American prior to my e60 and what I learned was that if you routinely changed your tranny fluid...ie every 60,000 miles, then you should continue to change it.
However, if you NEVER changed it, I would advise against doing it for the first time at 100,000.

My Service Advisor is recommending that I do it now with 74k miles.
