Well, The post talks about what bmw used to do and what they do now.
15,000 might be the standard for non-M cars as I remember that from my previous BMWs. In fact early BMWs under the free maint did not even include the 1 year oil changes. You had to know to ask for them or it was two years.
Basically bmw pushed the limits and it has cost them in long term reliability.
The fact is, most bmw auto transmissions will fail at 100k miles due to lack of fluid changes. |
My X3's tranny failed at 70,000.
It's funny you'd say that lol.
