Hey, just got this car and wondering if anyone has some info about how
much to expect for a transmission service (flush, fluid change, etc.).
I've been told the service kit is around $110, and the fluid alone is
another $204 because it's "very specialized BMW fluid." True?

WARNING:
There is a strong possibility that a flush will kill an UNserviced tranny...
if auto.
If serviced every 50k miles, no problem, but if you have 150k and it has
never been touched, be careful what you do to it.

You should not flush it, only change the filter and the fluid that comes out
with it.
read more about this here (search for it, very common topic)

It depends which gearbox it is as to which special fluid is needed and
whether it can be bought elsewhere. If you do a lot of googling you'll
probably find the info you need. Personally I use www.e38.org 'cos I
have an e38 but much of the stuff there may also apply to yours.
