The supplying dealer did the work when the car went in for a scheduled service. Cost, from memory, was around £500.
Bearing in mind that the process requires the AT to be drained and filled twice (decent AT fluid isn't exactly cheap) and the no-quibble recourse to BMW if there were any resulting problems, this was good value to me. |
I agree. Thats why I haven't bought the parts to DIY yet... my dealer quoted $700 for this service although it may be a bit different in process from yours...
Either way, for that money - the DIY may not be worth the headache and stress (especially considering parts are at about $350 alone).
And, like you said - if something fucks up afterwards, then they were the only ones to have touched it since factory and therefore may have some liability.
Im at 64k miles.
