I was thinking about changing over to BP Ultimate from Optimax, and I thought that it was available from Kingston and Phillip... but the BP website doesn't show Ulimate available this side of Sydney. As I'm almost certain that it is available at Marulan, they would mean their web site is stuffed, but I don't really feel up to ringing up all of the BP servos in Canberra.

So - has anyone seen BP Ultimate for sale in Canberra?

I only use BP Ultimate (I had to put Optimax in it yesterday as I didnt have enough to make it to a BP - and its hate f#cking me for it already with the knock sensor going crazy!!) and its definately availible from Civic, Kingston, Phillip and Chisholm. Not too sure about northside as I live south :)

I'm quite sure Ultimate is availiable in 2 places in Queanbeyan, one of them is the BP next to the main drag, and the other (I'm definite on this one) is the little BP on...Uriarra Road (I believe it's called).

So that makes six? places?

Urriarra Road Queanbeyan

Kings Highway Queanbeyan

Chisholm Shops

Melrose Drive Phillip

Canberra Avenue Kingston

Cooyong/Lonsdale Street Braddon

there has to be some northside?

yep i filled up on it a qbn on tuesday night, i never thought there was any diff beetween the 2 (optimax and ultimate) but after puttin a tank of optimax back in the car a few months ago, it felt like someone had taken my turbo off untill i put ultimate back in.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
