I had my car park for 10 days in my garage while i was on vacation. To my surpise when i come back I notice a large puddle of oil under my car (Near the center). After looking it looks like I am leaking tranny fluid from the tranny oil pan. My car is out of warrenty and after searching the forum I found some topics about the issue and even a invoice. I wanted to know if there was a DIY because the parts are not that expensive and I would mine doing it myself. Any help would be very helpful.

Thanks

This is not something i would recommend doing by yourself and besides you need a GT1 in order to check the tranny oil temp to fill up correctly and on level. The oil is very expensive and hard to find. you cannot buy only a certain amount of it.
Stick to a BMW shop and just pay. I had my shop doing this and probably saved a bit but was expensive anyway. Luckily they knew a BMW shop and they were able to get the right amount of oil needed.
