Hi, new here. Looking to buy an E34 540i soon enough, just want to know a few things about the transmission.
What does this switch do? No one has answered this properly for me haha
Would that switch change the way the car shifts? I drove one with a faded screen (so i didn't know what options i had pushed...) and after fiddling with that button it shifted weird. I am aware that's a terrible description but hey us non-BMW natives gotta start somewhere.
I have heard the transmissions are filled with a lifelong fluid - is this true? How long do they usually last in a well-maintained example. I've heard mixed opinions, some saying they're strong, some saying they're the achilles heel.
