The transmission is more tricky because it does not give any "oil low" warnings, and cant be topped up easily anyway. A replacement dct is not cheap, so be careful. I think I paid 2k usd here in China for two gasket replacements at bmw. A new dct is like 14k usd incl everything at bmw china (and maybe 2k if you get it from the "black" market and install it yourself... )
I guess, I'm not clear on such things so good to know. Btw where should I place liners on the floor to check if there actually are leaks for those 2 tranny items?
