They told me they don't recommend changing the fluid in the transmission unless something is wrong. They said topping it off is suggested, but don't open up the transmission. I called a BMW specialty shop and they told me essentially the same thing. It runs against my basic car logic of fresh fluids are always good
It's supposed to be "lifetime" fluid or whatever, but my car is tracked and changing the fluid and replacing the gasket is good preventative maintenance as these cars age.
