And the gear box functions smoother afterwards, it is noticeable. I think if you feel like you are going to keep your car for some time and it is not just a one year toy then you should consider changing it. Probably it will be cheaper if you buy the oil and change it yourself in a place other than a BMW dealer.

+1. Fresh oil is good oil. It is a difference you can feel with new trans oil in your manual gearbox.
