That's the kit I bought for my 2014 335i RWD M Sport.

It says it should work for the 328d.

Thank you, do you recommend flushing as well? Mine has 75k miles on it already and have not had a atf change.

Seems comparable.

BTW.. there's no way to flush and little need since the tq converter doesn't hold much fluid anyways.

I'm pretty sure that's not correct. It has about 2 quarts/liters, and it can be flushed (requires some hoses and running the engine.)

It is ok to just change the fluid without flushing?

That's SOP per ZF. You should reset the transmission as well but you need a computer to do it.

+1.

Drain and fill + a few more steps.

Yes. Probably 80% seem to be doing drain-and-replace (at least among the people posting on the forums.) Certainly better than not doing anything at all.

So if im understanding correctly, Ill be completely fine just doing Drain and Fill without doing anything with ISTA. As long as i follow ZF instruction with proper fill temperature etc?
