They reprogrammed the valvotronic and now it charges up again like before. I don't notice anything at all for the rest, the car drives fine.

The oil of the transmission is coloured pitch black which I was assuming to be abnormal since normally you would expect it to be translucent to some degree.

They told me they took oil out of transmission of a newer X5 and it looks the same. According to the garage there is nothing wrong with my transmission oil.

I'm still in doubt though… engineers that I talk to say there has to be a reason why the oil is so black, either it overheats (or overheated at some point) or there is something else (a rubber or something) that tears down a bit and gives the oil the black colour. The garage says its perfectly fine though.
