You're lucky. Have you ever read Mike Miller (tech ed. of Bimmer and Roundel) rant about BMW autos from the 90s? Per Mike, any BMW auto over 100k miles is living on borrowed time; I truly hope you make it to 200, though. BTW, your tranny is dealing with less torque than the 850 application; that probably helps.
