Fitment Note: Fits ZFGA6HP19Z 6 Spd Auto Trans Only. The 2010-2013 BMW 128i E82 and E88 platform came with two 6 speed transmission possibilities. These models could have the 6 speed ZF GA6HP19Z or the 6 speed GM GA6L45R automatic transmission. This kit fits ZF GA6HP19Z 6 speed automatic transmission only. It is the responsibility of 2010-2013 owners to determine their transmission type before ordering and clearly designate '6 speed ZF transmission'. Year 2008-2009 owners should not have to confirm the transmisison type due to these only being available with the GM GA6L45R 6 speed automatic transmission.

Why change your BMW 128i transmission fluid and transmission filter?
Your BMW 128i transmission has hundreds of moving components. Over time these internal components mesh with one another, begin to wear, and create fine metallic particles. These fine metallic particles contaminate your BMW transmission fluid and plug the transmission filter. This contamination affects your transmissions efficiency and long term performance, causing more friction and wear on transmission components. By having a regular transmission fluid and filter service interval for your BMW, you will easily extend the life of your transmission. With clean ATF and a fresh transmission filter you will be providing clean lubrication and proper filtration for your transmission. This important maintenance interval will support a long lasting well lubricated and protected transmission, minimizing chances of costly transmission repairs and problems.
When should you change your BMW 128i ATF automatic transmission fluid?
We have observed the BMW ZF 6-Speed transmission fluid getting contaminated earlier then usual. The ATF has a dirty metallic tint as soon as 60,000 miles. We recommend changing BMW transmission fluid and transmission filter every 50,000 to minimize the chances of wear on critical transmission components. Many people choose to just flush the transmission fluid? At Blauparts we recommend the transmission fluid and filters be changed along with the related components. This can greatly maximize gearbox performance and service life.
Having regular BMW transmission fluid and filter services on your BMW is great preventive maintenance. Having a regular service interval for your transmission is much more logical and inexpensive in the long term. Neglecting your BMW transmission can lead to costly transmission repairs or even having to replace a transmission for several thousands of dollars.
