What is your question?
The car is running fine, but I'm being told by my mechanic that the Transmission should be serviced, at a cost of $610.00, or you could start having problems.
Has the transmission ever been serviced? Have you had the vehicle since new?
Do you have an automatic or manual transmission?
Per the "normal maintenance" schedule for your vehicle, the transmission fluid and filter should be replaced at 100,000 miles.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2006 BMW 530i. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
The automatic transmission has never been serviced. BMW tells me that the 530i has a lifetime fluid installed when built, but I'm thinking it best to get new fluid and filter installed.
Highly recommend getting another auto repair facility's evaluation & estimates.
I know BMW is an expensive vehicle to maintain but I think the price you were quoted is a bit much.
