4.8 150 miles towing

Well touch wood re gearboxes - both the X and the S8 have ZF boxes and both have so far been absolutely fine. BMW did renew the transmission fluid under warranty when they repaired a gasket leak, so at least that's been done FWIW and I had the S8's fluid changed as well. I guess you have the option of other gears rather than D for a reason:) to override the cars choice of gear as you feel appropriate, and towing could be one of those times. I generally leave mine to get on with it when towing, but I know what y mean about it staying in a higher gear or changing to one, at a time you wouldn't have thought it would.
