I recently bought a 1999 528i wagon and just hit 100,000 miles. When I asked BMW to change the trans and rear end fluids they told me it was sealed for life. I found that a bit hard to believe, and now have seen some references by other owners who say they have changed their cars fluids. Any info on this would be appreciated.
