Nah, that the wrong fluid. I think OE fluid is bright green from what I can remember. Or amber. Definitely not brown. Fluid should come from either straight from ZF or from BMW. I think you may have the wrong fluid in that sucker. Whether it is high grade or crap, it won't work in the gear box, which may be a slush box by now.
