Just replaced the rest of the cooling system at 100,000 after the radiator started leaking. I guess once you fix a leak the next weakest link goes. In my case the radiator so I replaced everything yesterday. Not too hard to do but you have to have some experience working on cars. The hardest thing was getting the new radiator in. I know everyone said to replace everything the first time but I was trying to dodge the bullet.

Next is the transmission fluid and filter change and VANOS system. After going back and forth about doing the tranny fluid I decided to do it. I read that BMW states lifetime as 100,000 miles. Would like to hear back from anyone that did a tranny fluid change on a high mileage transmission.
