I hear you , unless the dealer does not know exactly what inventory they have and the difference between a liter and 4 liters - then they're on drugs. I called 2 stearlerships already and price was around the $ 70's per liter mark.

Order from getBMWparts.com or www.bmwpartzdirect.com
both are actual BMW dealers and you can get the juice for 20% off ($58.31) or 25% off ($54.67), respectively. Let shipping costs be your deciding factor.

Reference:
Automatic transmission oil Dexron VI, 83*22*0*397*114

FYI, GM controls the Dexron VI spec very tightly. So there is no reason to pay for the BMW Dexron VI if you can get Valvoline or another good brand cheaper than BMW.

You are entitled to your own opinion, remember there is GM europe and GM usa... an example in EU tons of GM diesel manufactured cars roaming.
we dont get them here.........
I'd pay the extra $$ to pay oem parts and peace of mind... I have 100 $ to spare and not 6k for a seized tranny after a few months......

So... Should I change my fluid in my 03 X5 with 76k?
