Changing the transmission filter in your BMW M5 isn’t as simple as replacing the filters on your other vehicles. The filter, which is often a metal plate with a fiber material that captures pollutants, is made up of numerous components.
Additionally, your BMW M5’s pump and main bearings, and the pickup tube, gasket, and rubber seal will all have to be replaced. The filter in your BMW M5 transmission will need to be changed every 30,000 or 50,000 miles. To find out more about how far you can go with your car before servicing is required, consult your vehicle’s maintenance handbook.
