Some metal shavings in oil after transmission fluid change F80 6MT
Hey guys - trying to figure out if anyone has an idea of how much shavings / glitter is normal after the cars first trans fluid change? The guy working on my car showed me a little cup he grabbed right after opening the plug and there was was some in the bottom of the cup, and he got some after wiping the drain plug after, he said it was a bit more than he normally sees. They were between .5-1mm and there wasn’t a big pile just a dusting on the inside of the cup and maybe a little in the bottom Also said not to lose sleep over it, just if the shifting gets noticeably more difficult or clunky that some work might be done. Another BMW mechanic I know said it’s normal, and fine cause the material wasn’t brass it was silver. Car shifts perfect now, but I’m curious if this might be something that would need to be done soonish or far in the future. Car has 40k miles.
