BMW Automatic Gearbox Service
Many BMW owners are told that their gearbox oil is "sealed for life". In reality, gearbox oil deteriorates over time due to heat cycles, contamination and normal wear.
Regular BMW gearbox servicing helps maintain the performance of your transmission and can prevent expensive gearbox repairs in the future.
A gearbox service can help:
- Improve gear change quality
- Reduce transmission wear
- Reduce gearbox vibration and shudder
- Improve driving comfort
- Protect internal gearbox components
- Extend transmission lifespan
- Maintain vehicle value
If your BMW has covered over 50,000 miles and has never had a gearbox service, now is the ideal time to have it checked.
Genuine ZF Gearbox Servicing
We only use genuine ZF service kits and genuine ZF Lifeguard transmission fluid. ZF are the original manufacturer of many BMW automatic transmissions including the popular 6HP and 8HP gearboxes fitted across BMW's range.
Using genuine ZF parts ensures:
- Correct oil filtration
- Correct transmission fluid specification
- Optimum gearbox performance
- Long-term gearbox protection
- OE quality components
We do not use budget aftermarket gearbox kits.
