Newbie D3BT ST - Service schedule & gearbox oil change

Bluetooner · Post by **Bluetooner** » Tue Jun 27, 2017 2:32 pm

Hello,

I have a 2009 D3BT with switchtronic box and it's coming up for 120,000 miles. I've used a local indy for servicing but usually do our own on the other family cars and looking to do same now with the Alpina. I have a couple of questions if you can help:

1. Where can I find the service schedule for this car - I tried the sticky on the forum but it took me to sales brochures?

2. Is changing gearbox oil & filter (whole pan) required at this kind of mileage and if so, anywhere other than BMW for filter/pan and what type of fluid? Also what will gearbox type be - am assuming a 6HP but don't know the rest?

Many thanks,

Welcome to the forum Bluetooner.........

Sorry I can't help with your questions, but I'm sure another D3BT owner will be along shortly.
How long have you owned the car? Silver saloon by any chance?

Hi Broch,

Thanks for the welcome...

You are correct, Silver Saloon it is. Have owned it since the end of 2014 but only came across the forum fairly recently.

There is another silver one around our area though, a D3MT, but a bit cleaner than mine.
