This is some good advice and you’re very knowledgeable about these cars. I have a 2006 X5 3.0i and we’ve had it since 30k miles and about 13-14 years. The car runs and drives like the day we got it. Did some work on my own and the rest at a bmw shop. I wanted to change the transmission fluid in it being that it is original. The car now has 124k miles and shifts very nicely just like the day we got it. I wanted to use Redline D4 transmission fluid as I’ve read a lot of people used it with good results. I’m going to put a Genuine BMW filter in it but I wanted to hear your thoughts about it. Would you recommend that I still put the additives in it as well? I’m also new to your channel and started watching some videos. Very nice content and good vids!

Can I use the same fluid for transmission and transfer? Great vide - thanks.

How much labor time is specified for the full fluid change ?
