Hey guys, I am having an issue with a 1994 E36 automatic. When I start my car and take off the transmission is hesitant to shift. Even when warmed up it wont shift unless I get the RPMs up around 3000 and hold the accelerator in that spot. I changed the fluid and as expected, it was black. I'm...

Hello, I have a '99 328 with 125k miles. Automatic transmission is slipping intermittently in first. Generally OK after it gets into second gear. From the threads it looks like a fluid and filter change is step #1. How much should I expect to pay at an independent shop using BMW fluid &...
