I'm not saying he needs to swap the tranny, but I would almost say it's rice to put CF on any automatic imo. Sure BMW's auto's are pretty good, but it's just not a 5spd. I just don't like the look of CF at all. Every honda and jap car I see has tons of it on there and I just don't htink it belongs on a bimmer unless it's really being used for it's main purpose which is to reduce weight and race.
