Brought home the 87 8v

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

They use normal ATF...  

B&M makes a great ATF that does wonders for Bimmers, but I have not had any experience with what that may or may not do for VW...  To that end, are BMW A/trannys made by ZF?  If so, I would expect that the B&M stuff would help with the life of the thing.  They do indeed get too hot.  A custom external air to oil cooler (not oil to oil) does help to extend their lives...
