How often should you change oil and filter in the auto box on the x5 E70

Probably the same as the E53.  60,000 miles?  BMW have said they are 'lifetime' parts, but we know their version of 'lifetime' is worthless!

Mine has 60k on it and I recently asked my local auto box specialist. He said 80-100k miles.

I was told by my BMW indie specialist that you either do it before 80k miles or leave it well alone. I took his advice on the E60 at 80k and she was gearbox faultless when i sold at 120k
