I have a 08 mini s r56. I was wondering would remedy the issue with the automatic trans. Its seems to be not cathing 4th or 5th gear very well. It tends to hard babg when i let off the accelerator and have it catch. I was wondering if the drain and fill could help seeing as it hasnt been done the vehicle is at 110k now.

Sounds to me like a low fluid level condition. Go ahead and try to top it off first, if that helps perform the drain and refill.
