Hey guys, I have a 2006 530i with the ZF transmission with 150K, never changed fluid. I've been getting the shudder from stop through 2nd gear, then it slams into 3rd the. Shifts smooth after 3rd gear. I saw Nathan's video on using the Valvoline Max Life trans fluid. I want to change my fluid. My question is, Can I do just a drain then fill with new fluid drive it for a while then do a drain, filter change and fill after? What would happen if I only do a fluid only change for now? I hear horror stories of mixing transmission fluids.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has bought a second hand SGM module, after having restraint system issues with code 0093F9 (ZK18/headrest driver / voltage energy reserve U60 N.I.O). Have tried all the recommendations from different forums, and had the car code read at independent BMW specialist with the recommendation of new SGM module (£800) so wondering if i can use second hand SGM module but not sure how to 'code' it to car? Any suggestions greatly received.

The driver's side daytime running light or the angel ring daylight burned and the socket where the light bulb goes is burned. The retaining ring that goes towards the front of the light next to the headlight bulb came off and is loose as well as the assembly. How do I replace the assemble for the daytime running light? I have adaptive and Xenon light. The simple bulb replacement got complicated and I do not want to replace the entire headlight assembly. Only the the daytime running light assembly needs to be replaced but do not know how to. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Roberto
