Just crawled under a new 528i :  soo..... much aluminium frame and 
suspension. Very impressive .

The GM  THM R1 auto trans  is made in Strasbourg France and uses 
 lifetime ATF. It has two oil pans . 
(According to the large sticker on the pan )
" Do not Change" and yet there is a large drain plug(......?)
If fluid is to be added it states use DEXRON 3. It has two oil pans.

The vehicle had BOGE  dual chamber gas filled shocks. 
Anyone know the reasonable  service life of  BOGE  gas shocks?

Sincerely,
henri baccouche
