What a great video you made. I appreciate how you go step by step and show detail how to do this. I can tell you are a good mechanic and love your vehicles. Great job and I look forward to more videos from you.
Such a Great video i wish people made them like this! I just hit a ratcoon this morning and messed up the front cooler to to trans and now have to replace that as well drain it Then full it when replaceing the filter .
Is your car shifting better? I ordered my kit because I'm having a hard shift from first to second. Hoping this fixes my problem. Great video! Thanks 🙏
Hi Carlos, yes the filter and fluid replacement really help alot. The car shift smoothly and runs like a champ. I also suspected that it may have lost transmission fluid over the years. Make sure the car is on when your filling with transmission fluid otherwise you will not be able to fill it correctly. Hope this helps.
I have a question .I did a transmission oil change plus gasket and filter on a 08 bmw i528 .after done I drove it work on my way back it wouldn’t drive no more my shifter pops back to neutral is there a reason why .I only have 128k miles transmission was working 100% good before oil change .does it have a sensor I juggle wile the process ??!??
Hey Enrique, do you have a check engine light on? It's only a sensor issue if a code comes up if the check engine is on. I would recommend removing the transmission pan and double check the filter is popped all the way up the inlet.
@@kikiboxing4life Ok, recheck the fluid level on the transmission, if everything is good, check the battery with a voltmeter with the car on, it should give out 14v , and once the car is off it should put out 12.5v , having a bad battery or a battery going bad can cause transmission to fail as it's not getting the proper voltage. I hope this helps.
Hey, I had that problem. It would come up on the infotainment screen. Afraid of it being a major problem I took it to BMW and they told me cylinders were misfiring etc… long list of issues with the transmission. Anyway I took it to get a transmission fluid change and BOOM problem solved. Drives like a champ. Fast forward 5 years The reason why I am here is because I have somewhat of a stutter when the car shifts from 1st to 2nd. More like a hiccup.
Might be low on fluid, might be dirty fluid, could also be a clogged transmission filter. Worst case the transmission is on it's way out. Start with the cheapest and easiest: with the car running and at running temp, pull the transmission dipstick and take a look. The dipstick will show you both the color and the fluid level. Start with adding a little if it's necessary. If that solves your shifting issue you're good to go! Just keep an eye out for leaks. If it doesn't need fluid but the fluid is a really deep, dark red, you likely need to change the fluid. If you have the fluid changed you should change the filter too. If the color isn't so dark you may want to change the filter and again you'll be changing the fluid in order to change the filter. If you get to that point and you're still having shifting issues, your transmission is likely going bad. I'm currently having shifting and sticking issues as well. My transmission is leaking from undercarriage damage from it not having the belly pans. I just hope I can get around to changing the fluid and filter and hopefully stopping the leaks before it's too late! Best of luck to you!!

@@oscars-autorepair3236 how is the car shifting now? I'm having a hard shift from first to second specially when is cold out and occasionally from second to third but very rarely. Do you think this can help my 2004 530i ?
Hi, for this 5 series models, you have to fill the transmission fluid from under the car, open the fill plug and use a fluid pump to fill the transmission. When fluid starts to pour out that's when you stop.
@@oscars-autorepair3236 my 535i just hit a 100,000 miles . I been having the transmission malfunction popping up is it time change fuild and filter . Might be stock filter on ?
@@ericbill7128 I would definitely change the transmission filter and fluid. My bmw has about 150k and once I change the filter and fluid it shift smoothly. Also if you do this job check for any metal shavings once you remove the transmission filter, if your spot alot of metal shavings than you might have a different issue. I hope this helps.

Did this fluid change help your first to second issue
every time i’ve working with my bmw’s trans fluid it gets all over me 😂😂
Thanks for sharing this information with me
Great video! You did a very good job. Thank you very much.
Outstanding thank you sir
Great video and helpful. I have a 2009 535i and I'm wondering where you got the kit from so I can order one? Thanks
Nice .keep up the good work.
Thanks 😊
You don't have to lube the gasket. It must be clean and dry !
Great Video, your detail steps was extremely helpful. Like you I love my BMW 528i. You are a master mechanic and my Hero. 😊
Thank you so much for your encouragement. Super happy to hear that this video help you out. greetings from Sunny California
Thank you, your video has helped me a lot, I thought it replaces the entire transmission, but it turned out fine with the oil and filter change...😎👌
Thank you for you valuable feedback. This will help others with similar issues and help them save lots of money as a dyi.
My bmw when I come to a stop and try to take off again sometimes jumps hard could that help with that?
Sound like it's low on transmission fluid. Try adding some transmission fluid like I did in the end of this video.
Ok I'll do that also kind of off the topic of transmissions it boggs when I come to a stop could that be a bad break booster?
Súper bro me agrado tu video, no sabia cómo hacerle el cambio a mi auto es un serie 5 530i me ayudará hacerlo yo mismo, saludos thanks 😃🤜🏻🤛🏻👍🏻
Gracias Bryan Por Tu comentario. Me Allegra saber que el video te ayudo.

Something if that filter is not fully seated the oil is not circulating and the transmission is not getting the proper oil to shift correctly

I must be the only one that couldnt catch the part number for pan / filter.
I have a 2004 bmw 530i,I can move the shifter but the car won't move
Did you have to reset it or anything ?
Can u do my car
Is the filter located in the pan? Does it come with the filter pre installed
yes it does
I have a transmission malfunction will doing this fix it?
