You're explaining "everything you LIKE TO KNOW ... about my car" not an actual review on the general aspects of the 535I. Sensors fail on their own, it's not about people breaking them. 9-10 the sensors have failed. "Liquidy"? 😕 . I honestly have a clue what on earth you mean by any of that. Trans fluid should be changed period when you get a car barnone so for one, you are assured fresh fluid. REPLACE YOUR SENSORS. You bought all the turbocharger components and skip the most important part of what's failing in your car? Don't do this car like a honda civic man. Care for your car..
