If you are going to rely on your BMW manual for instructions to change the fluid, you should probably also follow BMW's fluid specifications. I may or may not change the fluid myself at that interval, but I would use the correct fluid.
M1 is not Dexron according to Mobil's web site. They say you can use it anyway, even though it isn't a Dexron fluid.
For those that want to use the correct fluid, Mobil do sell a Dexron ATF, but it is labelled Mobil, not Mobil 1. I would use that one, personally. Since we're following BMW's recommendations and all. 
Maybe you used the correct fluid, and just referred to it incorrectly?
