The MTL on a cold day definitely makes the transmission feel like a truck transmission until it warms up.

That's interesting because I literally had to change the D4ATF after every event or the transmission would get super notchy and hard to get into gear. I used the MTL when my 6 speed was on its last legs, it worked and got the synchros to spin up so I could shift into 3rd and 4th.

Doing another fluid change, now with FFL4. Should have stuck with Pentosin / OE BMW fluid, esp since this is a street car for DD.

What's a "good" price for BMW MTF-2? I think I paid in the mid 30's Canadian each from the dealer when I did mine in 2021. Might do it again this winter to flush it again, since there was some form of ATF in there when I changed it.
I'm sure it's gone up but if it's still decent I might buy a few changes worth just to stash.
