BMW GEARBOX SERVICING
ZF 6-speed and 8-speed automatics, DCT on M cars, and manuals. Independent BMW specialists in Birmingham B37.
Quick Answer
Aline Motor Care is an independent BMW specialist in Birmingham B37. Most modern BMWs use ZF 6-speed or 8-speed automatics. These are not sealed for life. Fluid and filter at the right interval, often around 50,000 to 60,000 miles, prevents harsh shifts and mechatronic wear. We do this to ZF spec and update the iDrive service record when we service the car.
