Interesting. ZF don't list an automatic transmission for the 3.0 petrol (they do for the 3.0 diesel).
Agree that ZF builds transmission in Friedrichshafen, but that is in Germany, not France. I suspect that they may have a plant in Boutheon France as well, but I don't know.
The GM Powertrain plant is in Strasbourg, France. That is where the X5 3.0 automatics are built.
Could the label you are looking at perhaps relate to the transfer case, which is built by ZF?
It is always possible that there is an E53 with a 3.0 petrol engine and a ZF automatic, but it just doesn't show up in the technical literature.
