3) ~700 miles on track
4) No transmission issues - less than 10 launches
5) Leaky oil sensors + diff fluid + door actuator + dead headlight bulb issues for now

4. No launches.
5. IND found the transmission gasket leaking (very slightly) last winter. Gasket and fluid were replaced. Proactively will do so after every season.
6. No other problems or work performed.
7. I have a DCT transmission oil gauge that I monitor while tracking.

What type of gauge and what does it monitor, temp or level? Are there DCT aftermarket coolers for the track?

I will tune one day. Home renovations are preventing me from dropping a 1000+ dollars for an aftermarket tune right now. I was just giving a testimony to the reliablilty of a high mileage stock E9X Motor.

2. 2nd owner did first 100% fluid change at 97K miles (all highway miles)
3. NO
4. NO

i know this is a DCT thread but wanted a bit more info on this statement.

what temps (~) were you with Castrol and what are the cooler temps now?

I am am a recently new owner of a '10 E90M with 51k miles. Plan to change the trans fluid in the next week or so. No known issues.

I also plan on using LiquiMoly (used it the last 10-15k miles on my E46M)

The needle went from slightly above the middle position on my temp indicator to noticably below the middle position when I used the liquimoly. I know that's a non technical answer.

bump for new data!

Curious to see if anyone with a DCT has passed 150K on the original unit.

Search for user Redpriest, he should be closing in on 160k miles and has 50+ track days too.

"11 E93 M3 79k miles.
Found leaky DCT tranny pan recently.
Not a huge leak, it looks like normal oil seepage in an old car but sure not acceptable in any senses.
Going to do the DCT fluid change plus put on a new tranny pan.

'11 E82 135i 60k miles. Same Dct unit as the M3.
Dealer found mechatronic O-ring Leaking and tranny pan leaking @ 54k miles when I ask them to do dct fluid change.
Dealer did the repairs under CPO.
Mechatronic o-ring replaced, plastic tranny pan replaced, etc.
Paid for new dct fluid.

Both DCT units run strong at current mileage. Never have dct overheating issue or warning on both car.

Leaky plastic tranny pan is unavoidable...... how consistent the bmw is

Be prepared to check it in every oil change after you pass 40k miles?!.

Dealers or indy are welcome to help you look for the leaks on the DCT.
