Ok, next question about my chick's 318Ti.

The car is a 1997 automatic with 94,000 miles. The tranny fluid has never been changed. How should it be done, and with what fluid? (in my Lincoln you have to use special fluid (mercon V) and make sure the person doing the work drains the torque convertor.)

I'm not going to change the fluid myself. Should I have a dealer do it, and what should I tell them to make sure they do while changing it? Do they flush it, or just drain and fill.

I'm sure BMW has 'special BMW tranny fluid' like they do with every other part on this car.

Thanks!
