Serviced the tranny a month ago in our 2003 X5 using this information and all went well. Thanks OP for starting this thread.

The tranny pan was so dirty I couldn't see the manufacturing sticker on the pan and ordered ATF from fleabay. Thankfully I cleaned the pan before draining and found the sticker and determined the ATF used was a Dexron 4 and not what the Bentley manual and other information indicated...including the compatibility tool the vendor had on fleabay. Now I have $91 worth of the wrong ATF sitting in my garage. Better there than in the X5.

Used Amsoil ATF1G red label to be compatible with BMW PN 83 220 024 359
