So I had my transmission filter, sump changed along with the oil but only ordered 5L. Transmission can be jerky at times but more now on reverse. Does that mean I needed more oil?

No, it's in the DIY.

I just did this as my 2012 M3 just hit 100k miles. Also changed out the side filter and suction filter so I needed more fluid. Ended up draining about 5.5L out (measured once it was all out) and refilling about 5.7L or so back in (I had a minor leak from the mechatronics side cover gasket for a while, nothing major).. I had initially ordered 5L but decided to get one extra just in case - glad I did! For the fill process, I just followed the general guidelines mentioned earlier. Filled up about 4L before it started leaking out of the fill hole, hand screwed the fill plug back in (not tight) started the car, put it in Park, maintained 2000rpm for about 70-80 seconds or so, got back under the car, took the fill screw out and sure enough I was able to put another 1.7L or so in before it started leaking out again. Tightened up the fill screw, took it for a mellow test drive and rowed through the gears several times, everything seems fine.
The new fluid definitely appeared cleaner than the old fluid that came out. The old side filter material felt like it was worn out, felt like the material was falling apart. |

It's always best to change those.

I did not.. probably should have, but I got under and checked for leaks 2 days after the job was done and don't have any leaking.

I'd have the O-rings on hand in case you lose or pinch one.

Maybe it will be a tip to someone who wants to reuse the same side filter cap and O ring... I took 2 mm drill bit and drilled a small hole in the lower fetal of the star on the cap, then I put through a thin metal rope that I had in the garage and with the help of pliers gently pulled it out. Decent result, cap and O ring intact and still in good condition. Just necessary to replace the filter. Cap came out just like that smooth and no mess. |

I'm also in the middle of this job on my M3 DCT after doing on my 335IS DCT a few months ago. I must say it's much easier the second go around even though the side pressure filter is a little different with the oil cooler lines running across the opening.
Question for you folks having already done the job though, when pulling out the Sucking Jet Pump (28107842838-white scoop blocking the suction filter) the O-ring that goes around the upper section holding it in place fell apart. Pretty sure it was already failed but I can't find a part number or reference to an equivalent sized o-ring. I would strongly prefer not to buy a new pump for $92 just to get a $1 o-ring. Anybody else run into this issue/change that o-ring during their service? Other advice I can share having done this 1.5 times is that it's worth it to buy the OEM pressure filter. I bought two aftermarket ones planning one each for M3 & IS from ECS but they didn't fit and required razor blade trimming of the plastic. In the multiple trial and error attempts at this I mangled one irreparably and barely got the second one in. Between that and trying to get that damn snap ring out without snap ring pliers I probably spent 3+ hours on that crap. I caved and bought $20 snap ring pliers and an OEM filter for the M3 job and had it out and replaced in 20 mins including the oil lines. WAY easier! |

ID of the groove = 22mm Old o-ring thickness = 1.4 to 1.7mm depending on direction as it had flattened out The 22 x 2mm I ordered originally were slightly too large and fit loose on the shaft preventing the pump from being seated. I found some Buna-N (Nitrile) O-rings in 13/16" ID x 1/16" Th (20.6 x 1.6mm) that have excellent oil resistance and temp tolerance. It fit perfectly snug for those that may find themselves in a similar situation. |

Can someone confirm the process if someone simply wants to top off their box or add the GTS +1L? Assuming my car has the normal fill now, must I the top off with the transmission cooled down as well? Or can it be at temp for this? Do I still need to do the part in P at 2K for 1minute?
Understand this part is pretty easy with either GTS banjo or tilting the car a bit. It's too early for me to do a full flush with fluids, but I'd like to top it off. |
