"General advice to the OP and anyone else regarding the ATF change is to FIRST figure out exactly what AT you have. Second, understand that there are vastly different ATs in slightly different X5s. Third, understand that most people on this list post advice without understanding that. So if someone is posting advice without being explicit about which AT they are referring to, you will probably be better off ignoring it and looking for information specific to the type of AT you have."
"Some things I noticed (this is for my 5L40-E/GM5, but is probably relevant for the ZF transmissions as well):"
I am severly struggling to reconcile the two above remarks you make.
From my (albeit slightly limited) knowledge of automatic boxes and oils I'd suggest that the various boxes fitted are not that dissimilar and that the advice is equally relevant to all auto boxes.
