no, not really- it could happen but there are many that keep on going past 200K as well....I singled out the 540 since it's tranny (5HP24) is pretty damn durable- mine's got 150K on it and just did a fluid change - still perfect. There are reports of failures, but those were the early 5hp24 (prior to 2001) - newer ones have been updated from the factory-
5HP19 is what's used in the 530I- and mine (sold car at 105K) was still ticking along just perfect, but it had fluid changes done...
Bottom line, I wouldn't sweat one that's shifting perfectly...
