Description
Thanks to its unparalleled torque-handling capability, quick shifting, and tunability, the ZF 8-speed automatic transmission has become a favorite among BMW enthusiasts. The 8HP has been offered in a multitude of vehicles, ranging from the unassuming G05 X5 to the performance-oriented G80 M3. Rigorous high-performance usage underscores the need for meticulous servicing. Thus, the engineers at BMW M decided to equip the M3 with a slightly upgraded fluid filtration setup. Thankfully, this setup is a bolt-on upgrade for all ZF 8-speed vehicles!
This service kit brings significant upgrades compared to the factory setup. The ZF 8HP is equipped with a plastic pan and integrated filter setup, which requires complete pan replacement, proving costly and inefficient. Moreover, the pan's ABS plastic construction renders it vulnerable to damage from road debris.
However, BMW has equipped the G80 with an improved pan made of aluminum, along with a separate fluid filter assembly and additional fluid capacity. This upgrade ensures enhanced durability, easier future serviceability, and superior fluid cooling. Whether aiming to reduce costs on filter changes or extend the transmission's lifespan, this OEM+ service kit is an ideal choice for 8HP-equipped vehicles.
