  I have a 2011 BMW X5 diesel with approximately 73,000 miles on it. BMW's recommended service schedule says the transmission fluid is for "lifetime". I purchased this car new (not a lease) and intend to drive it for about 200,000 miles.
  
  As part of my preventive maintenance I wanted the transmission fluid changed. More specifically I wanted to exchange as much of the old fluid with the new one - without resorting to a power flush.
  
  Besides being very expensive, many BMW dealers didn't want to change the transmission fluid and gave various reasons as to why it should not be done. I knew my transmission was in very good working condition and issues related to "moving the crud" around did not apply to me.
  
  I sought out Rick Camacho at Automotive Consultants and asked if he could do this fluid exchange for me. Rick has done several wheel alignments for me in the past - I go to Rick because I want my wheel alignment set to a specific value, not just get the alignment into spec. and call it done. Rick has always delivered.
  
  Rick and I discussed what I wanted done - not just a simple drain, but try and get as much of the transmission fluid out as possible plus change the filter/pan. If this job is not done right (as in not following the bolt tightening pattern, etc.) you can create new problems - fluid leaks, etc. As expected Rick did a FANTASTIC job - yes the car continues to not shed a drop of oil!
  
  What sets Rick apart are efforts like this one: Rick gave me a choice of fluid I can use on this transmission - BMW branded fluid or ZF branded fluid. ZF is the manufacturer of this particular transmission. Once Rick had the part number for my transmission he called his friend at San Mateo who only deals with ZF transmission.
  Rick gave him the part number for the transmission and his friend told Rick the exact ZF fluid used by ZF on this specific transmission. Rick then called me and suggested I follow his friend's suggestion. It turns out this fluid was slightly cheaper - and yes Rick charged me the lower price, not his initial quote!
  
  Rick started off with Porsche but now works on Mercedes, BMW, Audi and other foreign as well American brands. Yes I wholeheartedly recommend Rick if you are looking for an honest auto mechanic who will treat you fairly as well as takes deep pride in getting the job done right every single time.
