I heard recently that an e36 Auto Transmission would only last about 75k-85k miles, this does not seem correct, what has people's experience been and what are your thoughts? I just flipped 65k on my 95 E36. Thanks.

105,600. Have to take mine into the dealership to have the fluid topped off. When i took out the radiator to install the sc, i disconnected the trans cooler. Lost about a pint of fluid. Because of the loss, when i punch the throttle, it does great in 1st, but can't find 2nd. According to the rep at my local BMW dealership, there is not enough juice in the trans to get it to slam into 2nd at full throttle. No problems a low speeds. Just at full throttle.
Therefore, on Monday i make a trip to the Dealership to have them do a transmission svc for a cool >$200.00. Oh well, easy come, easy go.

Cheers,

Thanks for the input guys, I figured they lasted longer than that, can't find where I saw it but might have been one of the Euro BMW mags.
