Thanks for the info, WPoll! The fill port is on the back of the N62 pan. I'm not sure where the center point of the X5 is relative to that, but it seems to me that OldSkewel's technique would work if the difference in height between the front and rear jacks is significant. Works for him!
Your observation about the temperature of the fluid in the bottle made me think that I could leave it in the fridge overnight to make it even cooler!
BTW, did you see the edit I did in the last post in the other thread you helped me with? I discovered based on the PDFs you sent that the N62 is type A, which ZF says uses a different procedure for shifting gears (I think!).
