I didn't except this stupid term from BMW.
I feel something wrong in the gearbox but i don't know what, my car tuned since 30.000 miles. (jb4 only use map2 no meth no race fuel) the torque not too high.
He told me if there's a clutch slip they will change the whole gearbox and bring a new one.
My questions are...
some people say u shouldn't empty all the old fluid from the GB or it will get damaged 
how should i drive the car after the new fluid? some say don't do WOT for about 2000 miles
after how many miles should i change the diff fluid, should i empty it all or just add on the old one
what's the best types of fluids for trans and diff??
I know too much questions, but what should i do i want to learn from ur experiences...

there are a lot of threads on this
BMW doesn't change gearbox or diff oils according to them what they use is Lifetime, so the dealer has nothing to do with this its just BMW instructions.
