BMW 8 speed

[freshbread]

Has anyone come across issues with the BMW 8 speed auto box ?

[Truckosaurus]

Isn't it the ZF box that's in everything from Dodge pickups to Rolls Royces to 1000 bhp Hellcats?

As reliable as anything else as far as I know.

Yup, modern longitudinal engined BMWs use the ZF8 HP which it probably the most common auto box in the world. It's generally reckoned to be a very, very good gearbox.

Yep solid gearboxes , only thing worth mentioning is that they require servicing every 5 years or 60,000 miles , most manufacturers claim they are sealed for life

[normalbloke]

Sealed for life just means until they’re no longer liable for it.

[freshbread]

thank you for the response

They are virtually unbreakable and there are thousands with 200k and the original oil.

Look on Ebay to see how little they are worth secondhand, often just three hundred quid or less.
