Where wd you buy Trans filter & fluid

007_e350 · 01-03-2015, 02:44 AM

hey guys, not much info on the x5d forum, I've been looking for the ZF (or ATF-2 bmw) fluid but its outrageously prices, dealer quoted $35 a quart!!!! any cheap website out there ? thanks for all the help

essex_lad · 01-03-2015, 03:35 AM

I would go with genuine bmw even though there is cheaper oil kits on eBay. Try asking bmw for trade price and they should knock it down.

I think this is what you are looking for:

A little cheaper alternative:

Looks like the Shell M1375.4 is the same as ZF Lifeguard 6 so it meets the spec for the 335d, no?

The Shell M1375.4 is believed to be the original in our transmissions.
Some of us have used the ZF Lifeguard 6.

Would it be the same kit for x5d E70 ?

Mik325tds · 01-03-2015, 03:22 PM

I think so. If you click the link I provided it lists the
E70N X5 35dX SUV, Engine Code M57, Production Code ZW03
as one of the applications.

That is great and waaay cheaper than oembimmerparts.com. I bought from bavauto.com for a few dollars more ($252 vice $241) because they specify that a gasket is included AND free shipping (vice $29).

gtp900 · 01-06-2015, 07:44 PM

oembimmerparts is only 254.65, for 6 liters of fluid, pan, plug and gasket. They also has free shipping

I bought mine from the TDIwyse linked place and paid $275 total.

Hoooper · 01-06-2015, 08:17 PM

I just paid $252 at bavauto. Both good prices.

+1 for ECS tuning!

I plan on using thectsc.com in the spring, supporting the smaller shop that specializes in the trannies and provides the good info for all of us to use. The deltas of transmissions, which kit to use etc...all listed there.

No affiliation, I just try to support the specialists when I can

+1 on their expertise. Klaus helped me with recommendations concerning pan replacement. At one point i wanted to use the steel pan from a E53 X5 as it has same transmission as our 335D but with steel instead of plastic pan. Klaus pointed out to me that I would be decreasing the volume of the fluid held in the transmission and possibly overheat it. I was trying to find a cheaper way to do fluid service without eating cost of pan replacement too.

trsaz23 · 01-07-2015, 08:32 PM

I use ID parts (independent diesel parts) for oil,def, and tranny.
Good prices.
