Update: Transmission Fluid Service Success

So today I finally got around to taking the X3 in for transmission servicing (Drain and fill fluid and filter change). The car was downshifting really roughly and upshifts were a bit jerky as well, especially in cold weather. With the new fluids in the shifts feel 80% better, I'm more than happy with the results. With 119,000 miles on the odometer, I'm not sure if the fluid was just really nasty or if there wasn't enough in the car, but regardless the new ATF worked wonders. Would definitely recommend.

Also took the time to replace the cabin air filter... The heat coming from the vents smelled really gross so I took a look at the filter which I'm sure has never been changed in the vehicle's lifetime and this is what I found..
