No problem. No significant change. I think I may also try Valvoline Synthetic. I believe it is compatible (must check the spec sheet).

When you change your fluid, give us an update. So far, no one has reported transmission failure. (I don't understand how changing old, dirty, fluid is ever a bad thing.)

If no codes are being thrown use Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner (concentrate). It solves rpm fluctuating upon cold start-up. Also, for most BMW problems start off by scanning your car with the Peake Research Tool. It contains the actual BMW codes. If you want to register a newly installed battery for free (just buy a $10 cable) and google/download BMWLogger
