2003 e39 3.0D - autobox - known common failures?

[E36GUY]

Can anyone with knowledge help me out with known weak points/failures of the e39 530d autobox?

Also - presumably it's the same as that fitted to an e46 of the same era?

Thanks PB. That doesn't make for cheery reading but perfect resource

TC shreds and goes into box and requires full rebuilt at around 1500
