Wonderful write up! It looks a little too risky for me, but that sure will help a lot of people. You really notice a big difference? I just got my E60 and it's got high mileage on it and the tranny shifts a little rough in DS mode, I think I need to get this done.

DIY is all ready to go but the system would not allow me to post something with this many images. Darn!
I will get in touch admins.

WOW. Nice write up. So don't change my ATF at 80k?
A little too much work for me to DIY.

It's something I believe in but everyone has to make their own decisions. I feel better knowing that its done. Only time will tell if I made teh right decision. It's only been a week.

Can anyone advise on the best way to measure the fluid temperature when doing the change, ZF seem pretty certain it needs to be around 40C.
To make things easier, I just bought the BMW diagnostic that will allow me to monitor transmission temps among other things. I plan to do a drain and fill this coming weekend. It will be a good time to test the theory on a 6 speed auto. I will post results so other can benefit without needing the tool.
Regards.
