If you're not experiencing any problems now, then I would guess that the trans will make it to at least 200,000 km. The only bad BMW auto tranny I know of is the one used on the 3-series in the late 90s and early 2000s. Make sure that you replace the fluid regularly. I recommend a drain and fill or a pump out and fill (not a flush) every 40,000 km or earlier. Your trans filter should have been replaced at least once by now.What is the life expectancy of a automatic transmission on a 1991 BMW 525i ?My e34 tranny went out at 348k' km.

Hard to say, most BMW transmissions are bulletproof. If you take car of your car it could last longer than the rest of the car.
