Hey everyone, does anyone have the June 2006 issue of Roundel? I am looking for the maintenance schedule from that issue, specifically on how it pertains to the Automatic Transmition Fluid (ATF)
Anyone with access to this article please chime in!
Thanks
I saw this post by Mr. PC back in June of 2006...
"Some interesting news in the June 2006 Roundel (Magazine of the BMW CCA), p. 42: A former BMW dealer tech reports that BMW's policy on scheduled maintenance allows slightly early service: 2,000 miles before oil change, 4,000 miles before brake service, oxy sensor, 4 months before brake fluid and coolant, 4,000 mi before 100,000 for spark plugs and ATF fluid. So get that ATF and sparks done before 100,000 - even a little after and they may deny free services"

The article was about Gateway Tech, an annual tech seminar for BMW CCA members. One of the speakers was a BMW Master Technician. Dave Mason (pp. 41-42) who suggested members establish a good relationship with the service advisor/manager. According to Mason, BMW allows owners to get scheduled maintenance service slightly earlier than "needed" e.g. 2,000 miles before indicated oil serivice, as quoted above. I didn't see a maintenance schedule per se.

I have the issue right here but I can't seem to find what you're looking for. Any other hints?

I had the right issue but having page numbers 41-42 surely helps out a bunch...
Between HOMEP1 and E11142860, they pretty much quoted the entire section of the magazine.
