Over the life of a vehicle, the transmission can often be overlooked when performing routine maintenance. If left?unserviced, the automatic transmission fluid will break down, causing the valve body and filter to become contaminated with deposits and sludge. This will lead to poor shifting, slipping, and ultimately, transmission failure. For your 8-speed transmission,?BMW recommends replacing your entire transmission pan and filter as the stock?pan is constructed of plastic. This plastic pan will experience numerous drastic heat cycles over its lifetime, causing it to?become weak and brittle, leading to potential catastrophic failure. Not only is this dangerous, but this is also very expensive when factoring in regular services.
Upgrade your BMW's ZF transmission pan to PPE's Heavy-Duty Aluminum Transmission Pan and be done with pan replacements! PPE's one-of-a-kind transmission oil pan is cast from high-strength aluminum, allowing this pan to be used for the life of your transmission while also providing multiple benefits over your stock pan. Thanks to the thicker aluminum construction, internal?heat fins, and integrated external cool fins, this pan helps promote reduced transmission fluid temperatures.?PPE's trans pan has also been designed to allow for an additional quart of transmission fluid. The combined benefits of both cooler trans fluid and greater fluid capacity results in better lubrication, increased service life, and longer track sessions!?
That's not all! To top it all off, this pan also includes a high-powered Neodymium magnet built into the drain plug, preventing metal contaminants from being cycled through your transmission and causing damage.
