I felt like I found a unicorn with the timing belt being changed. Almost no V70s for sale around here had a timing belt done even if they had 200,000 miles. Also love the tranny flush at 32,000. I always felt like you could do a transmission flush every so often if you started early. I always had issues with BMW "lifetime fluid". The dealer said they would not change it and just to leave it alone until the transmission died and then just buy a new transmission :roll: It did last around 230,000 miles or so and by then the car wasn't worth a new transmission :(
