Yes...He is shipping them for those who have paid. Mine has already shipped regardless that we didn't get to 10. May want to pay for it asap if you haven't!

Go to the eBay link, place best offer for $870 and he should accept. We may be at 10 already however.

I will reach out to him to find out.

Do you remember how much fluid it took after the pan install?
I am hoping 8L is enough.

I think it took just under 8l I'll have to check my receipt for how much fluid I bought

Noticed some slurry shifting after repeated shifts in S4. Does this pan rectify that issue?

0.8L would be around 10% additional cooling in ideal circumstances so curious how it works with just the pan modification.

Fresh DCT fluid would likely be the most helpful if you've never changed it. My autoshifts were a bit harsh even in the lowest speed but fluid change cured that.

Where the pan can help is reducing some fluid starvation issues with its extra baffling and the extended fluid suction tube.

I have more issues driving at high rpm, I never use auto shifts and I don't make unnecessary shifts. What's the life of DCT fluid? 8 years?

BMW says it's a lifetime fill. People have sent used fluid with 100k miles on it and came back in good condition. It's easy enough to do every 50k miles, especially if you're tracking heavily.
