* Every 60,000 km or 4 years for new models with modern ZF 8HP transmission.
* Every 100,000 km or 6 years for older models with GM or ZF 6HP transmissions.
However, there are some exceptions and special recommendations for specific models and operating conditions:
* BMW M models: Every 30,000 km or 2 years
* BMW with xDrive all-wheel drive: Every 40,000 km or 3 years
*Vehicles used in severe conditions (e.g. towing, racing): More frequent oil changes (every 40,000 km or 3 years)
Refer to the owner’s manual for your specific BMW vehicle or consult an authorized BMW service center for an accurate automatic transmission oil change schedule.
