If it wasn't a suitable functionable equivalent then I don't think Red Line would claim so for marketing purposes.

However, I was able to find Esso LT (VW/Audi version) from one vendor for a reasonable price.

I think these are the exact same fluids.... just different part numbers:

(VW/Audi Spec)
VW/Audi ATF ATF1: Semi-Synthetic, High Performance Fluid (1 Liter) G052162A2 - RM European Auto Parts

(BMW Spec)
BMW ATF Auto Transmission Fluid (1 Liter) Equivalent to: ESSO LT 71141 NOTE: Only for "Green Tag" transmission 83229407807 - RM European Auto Parts

Thoughts????
