My vin is
P133684
2008 328i e92 coupe

Trying to figure out what kind of transmission I have without jacking it up.
Plan to replace transmission filter and fluid.
http://www.bmw-z1.com/VIN/VINdecode-e.cgi
That vin decoder has unknown for transmission.
I'm hoping its GM transmission(already have fluid and filter in my Amazon cart).

I'm hitting 80k soon. What other fluids do I have to change?(plan for differential at same time)
Power steering done at 78k
Brake done at 40k
Coolant done at 40k

Probably do break fluid again.

change differential oil too

You need to know what motor you have too. It looks like you could have either an N51 or N52.

However, I am certain the beck and arnley kit will cover both transmissions. The Amsoil will too.

N52 for sure. Need to order everything from the Amazon. Stationed in Korea and the Amazon is only place that will ship fluid to APO address with free ship.
Have these items on the Amazon cart
Redline 75w90 for differential
Castro import automatic fluid 6qt
Beck Arnley 044-0368 transmission filter

Will let my local indy do brake fluid flush(with fluid provided by me).
