2012 35i Auto Trans questions!

Lyncstar1 · 07-02-2021, 09:34 AM

The BMW shop I took my new to me Z4 for a once over is recommending the following service:

MECHATRONICS SEALING COVER GASKET AND O-RING REPLACEMENT

I apparently have a leak that while not hitting the ground is large enough to move to other components. They provided the shots below. should I do it? They are also recommending the fuel filters be replace as they can do it while they are working on the gaskets. The cost for the gasket is like $1,700 and for the filters $1,100. I've also included a link to the report. Any sage advice in advance would be mucho appreciated. Like, how long could I delay the work if it actually should be done? I just paid $24K for the vehicle, it's not my daily, just my fun car. I don't want to ruin the tranny though!
