There is no sucking nothing. Its a known fact that the dealer has a huge mark up on all their parts and services.

So if you want to be the one to spend $1000 vs $300 then go ahead.

My car is 2009 335i at 76k miles and I'm thinking of doing a transmission fluid and pan filter changed, the Indy shop said I would need to do a flush for my car does that seem right or just changing the fluid seems better?

By flush he probably meant just an oil change.

I've seen shops recommend this, they say it's a pump system but no clue. I just did a drain and fill, ran it for 1000 to circulate and then did the full Monty. After a grand I checked it and fluid looked great.

I stick to the old school methods instead of this new "fix when broke" model because I want to be able to depend on the car.

Old thread, but 100% right. True lubricants are better now, but cold winter and hot summer and excessive idling and beating on a car, still do the same damage and pollution to the engine oil. changing more often yield a cleaner and more reliable engine.
