Yup, used Dexron VI (AC Delco and Petro Canada) on 2 BMW/GM trannys already. So far, so good.

great. thank you. i am going to do drain and fill twice so i can get most of the old factory filled fluid out.

Did you double check the sticker under the tranny pan?
What does it say? ( color and the part number )

Mine is a green label and I used redline d4 ATF ...
Red Line Synthetic Oil - Automatic Transmission Fluids - D4 ATF

My e90 I think is compatible with redline d6...

thanks for the information. mine is blue label (not sure if i could trust the color of the label), yes. i could use D4 ATF or Dexron VI, i got 4 gallons of GM dexron VI, so it should be enough for two refills.
