E70 transmission Filter/oil change

mweisdorfer · 06-20-2013, 05:40 PM

I just changed the transmission filter pan in my 2008 E70 with a 3.0si. I had a hard time finding the correct filter. Beck and Arney does not make one for this engine. I finally got a ATP for about $95.00.

At any rate, the car sat up on jack stands for 4 solid days. The transmission fluid just kept draining and draining and draining.
End result is I probably put about 9 quarts back in when it was all said and done.

I used AMSOIL Signature Series Fuel-Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid.

It just got approved to be used in BMWs.

4 days? Is this normal?
