I plan on doing another drain and fill after some time has passed to let everything blend. I might wait a few weeks or into next month. I guess I should get on my E46 now.

I would say you're good. I don't understand the logic of multiple changes at the best of times let alone when there is concern about changing it in the first place.

The multiple changes is because a good% of the fluid won't drain out because it's not in the transmission

Draining and filling the oil pan will change about half of the total fluid amount. Majority of it still lurking in the torque converter. This is why I flush change so the whole oil quantity is renewed at the same time.

Heck OB, if yours is that clean at 180,000 miles, mine can't be all that bad at 377,000 miles. Probably leaning a bit more towards caramel as opposed to your designer bronze color.

That’s the best place to grab to pull yourself around if the pipe is cool. It’s self-cleaning just like an oven.
