There isn't any for just the filter, it is not a separate part. If you want to replace it, you have to replace the entire reservoir.

I am going to flush it back to ATF, but I was wondering if the filter inside the reservoir will be damaged by the Pentosin. I am not sure if the Pentosin will eat the o'rings away or not.

I have read all available instructions in Bentley and on BMWE34.net, but I can only get the dang thing out about 3 or 4 inches and then the two sets of electrical cables are holding things real tight. What is the secret to remove the connector that plugs down into the area right behind the blower control knob? Thanks for any tips.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Jeff, I agree with the rest of the group that the 540iT with snow tires will be great in the winter. However, you owe it to yourself to test drive an s6 avant. It is an amazing car. My mother just purchased a volvo v70 and we both test-drove the v70R. While it would have been too much car for her it certainly was very competent if you can deal with a little turbo lag and has a lot of cargo space. Stefano '98 m3 used to be winter car with snow shoes, now kept in a garage until warmer weather while driving a '97 Maxima SE 5spd through potholes the size of craters here in NY.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello all, I drive an E36 M3 in the summer, which makes driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee pretty dull all winter. So I'm looking at sport wagons for a better handling/more fun SUV alternative. The Audi S6/S4 Avant and Volvo V70R seem to offer a great combo of AWD and performance, but I'm a loyal Bimmer fan and think I would like a 540iT a lot more on all but the snowiest days. With that in mind, how does the 540 do in the snow? I live in WI, so we get some snow, but not a ton, and I would put snow tires on in the winter... I've though about X3/X5's - but I assume the 540 would out handle/accelerate either of those...save maybe the 4.8...but that's too rich for my blood... I also saw the 530xi at the Chicago car show...nice car (still getting used to the styling however) but a little underpowered for my taste...anyone know if BMW's bringing out a 545xi wagon someday (that I'll be able to afford several years after it comes out!)
