Has anyone changed 535 f10 transmission oil around 100k?

Im at 99k and wondering if i should even do it at this point. I dont have any issues shifting, maybe a noticebale disengage from p to d when cold but thats about it. Has anyone changed their tranny oil at this mileage?

I am at 74k miles and wondering the same. I even did XHP stage 2 tune on it the other day, and I am sure it will have the added wear and tear on the transmission. So, what's the consensus on the transmission service?

Same here. I have 150k on mine and want to do just the fluid in the pan and replace filter.

You're overdue. ZF engineers recommend servicing the transmission (that is fluid, pan w/ filter) every 60,000km.

I service the 8HP's on late model BMW's several times a week, we also replace them when the crap out from lack of maintenance. 125-140k seems to be the median life span when used and abused without maintenance.
