For pre X-drive models it is just automatic transmission fluild. For X-drive models with clutch plates, which this fluid is intended for, I think you would be crazy to not use the BMW fluid, since the friction characteristics of the fluid matter. Companies like Redline and Royal Purple don't have the specification for the fluid, so anything they push will be a generic fluid that they just hope will work.
