Auto Transmission Filter Kit, BMW - E82 128i, E9X 325i/328i, X3 3.0si (GM GA6L45R)

This is a full service kit for the GM 6-speed automatic transmission used in E82 128i, E9X 325i/328i, and X3 3.0si models. Automatic transmissions use "lifetime" fluid but the transmission can be serviced with new fluid and filter*. This service kit includes all of the parts that should be changed, including:

1 x 24117572618, oil pan gasket
1 x 24117572619, magnet
1 x 24117572622, oil drain plug
1 x 24117581606, set of bolts
1 x 24117593565, oil filter
1 x 24147572603, oil filler plug

* - Note that changing the fluid on automatic transmissions can be a very technical process that requires a precise procedure, special tools, and/or professional-level diagnostics software. There is no doubt that fresh fluid will perform better than used and dirty fluid. However, most of the problems we hear come from an improper transmission flush where particles and debris block fluid flow or a failure to set the correct fluid level after. We believe automatic transmission fluid service should be left to a professional BMW technician and that extended fluid service (>50,000 miles) is acceptable as long as the fluid level is regularly checked and maintained.

These models were offered with a GM or a ZF 6-speed automatic. You may need to check the tag on the side of the transmission to confirm which is installed. Here are some hints: if you have a Sport button behind the shift lever you have the ZF transmission. The GM transmission has a metal oil pan; the ZF has a plastic oil pan.

This is a Genuine BMW auto transmission filter kit with a two year warranty. Buying a Genuine part will usually be more expensive than an OEM or aftermarket brand but you are assured that it meets BMW's designs for fitment, performance, and longevity. It will also be the very latest design, incorporating any updates or revisions that an aftermarket brand typically will ignore.
