My dealer did their research also and this was their answer. 3rd oil service will require transmission fluid change. I have never owned any other car that required a trans fluid change at 1200 ..... for most if us, if you want to do it - go ahead, pretty easy job! |

Makes sense, BMW NA saw the statistics and agreed: Why bother with manual transmission fluid changes, in spite of the ~1k 1Ms, most people in the US still drive automatics ...

Since this document references Kilometers I am going to say it doesn't apply to the USA?

Had break-in service today (U.S.) and dealer said that tranny fluid is not changed until third service.

Great to know. If anything, I can source the fluid and change it myself at the halfway point.
