I change my fluid in the trans every 25k miles. It's not expensive and easy enough to diy. I tried my go to RedLine fluid for the first change in my 335 and it shifted a little rougher so I drained it and went back to the bmw fluid and it was super smooth again. So with the 340 I have stuck with the bmw stuff.
I say check it out before buying and if it is smooth once warmed up then it's probably fine. Change the fluid for piece of mind.

I also have the opportunity to get a similarly equipped 2014 with 53k miles but it is an 8AT, do you guys ever regret getting the 6mt? This will be my first manual so I'm a little nervous about having a manual car as a daily driver.
