Looking for Shell Trans Fluid M-1375.4

[X5one]

I am working on changing my fluid on a 2004 BMW X5 4.4i sport. Found the transmission fluid I need to be Shell M-1375.4. This is $43.80 a liter from the dealer. Does anyone have an alternate source? By the way the dealers are now recommending a 100k mile fluid and filter change.

I just talked to Bavarian because I had ordered the Esso fluid from them. They confirmed I needed the Shell M-1375.4 fluid. I just checked the esc site, and they have a Redline product that they say will work.

BMW E53 X5 N62 4.4L > Drivetrain > Transmission > ES#251177 Dexron ATF (D4) - 1 Quart - 8352230504

Has anyone used this fluid in there X5? I have been very happy with Redline fluids in my e30 for years.

Didn't know the dealer sold it in any quantity other than a 55 gallon drum. Do you have a part number for a liter bottle?
