Yea my question was really relating to having a big stall converter and it's interaction with that. Why would BMW not just put a 5500 stall converter in there stock then? Then the OEM car could just launch control hard. -

If you fully flushed and filled it's probably good for 5 years. I would not push it any further than that. Generally speaking coolant is more by time than by mileage. Rust wants to happen whether you're driving it 50,000 km or 80,000 km. -

Modern transmissions like the 8HP lock up as low as ~12 km/h. And they will stay locked even with full throttle in gear. Far, far cry from the days of 3/4/5 speed automatics when they only locked up on overdrive gears and even then only if you didn't put too much torque through it. Manual transmissions are pointless unless you personally enjoy shifting gears. -
I read on YouTube that the neo has 2 bleeder valves? Can't see anything in the manual though -
The only other time I changed it is when I noticed it had become discoloured after a few track days (it was .. yellowish). So I drained and refilled the rad. I think most people are in this situation. It's not like the car ran any cooler after I changed the coolant either. I'm gonna go with "If it makes you feel better, change it!"
