If you are experiencing any gear shift/slip problems, or if the transmission oil smells a bit burnt this is a relatively cheap option before ripping the box to pieces. Mine most definitely shifted smoother after a filter & oil change. Tools required A pair of axle stands, a jack (or ramps), socket set, allen key set, large adjustable or stilsons & something to drain the dirty oil into. Parts required A new filter (about £14 from BMW) and comes with a new rubber sump gasket. Replacement ATF fluid Dextron III (a gallon from Motaquip £15) Time to complete One hour if you take your time! • You need to run the car for a couple of minutes moving the gear shifter through from P > 1. • Raise the front of the car, slide under and find the gearbox! The first job is to drain the oil. This is where you need the allen key to remove the drain plug from the underside of the gearbox sump. CAUTION – GEARBOX OIL MAY BE VERY HOT. • When the oil has finished draining, loosely replace the drain plug then unscrew the large nut securing the dipstick tube. (using the large adjustable metric spanner!) • Now we can remove the 6 x 10 mm bolts shown above and lower the transmission sump.

A rubber ‘O’ ring – this is to replace the old one on the upperside of the filter.
