That sucks! So much for a DIY...

so just to double check, this DIY procedure is also good for '01 x5 3.0 w/o x-drive correct?

i know it's filled with dextron III (different fluid from xdrive fluid), that is verified from another post and also by the dealer. now it's just a matter of changing it. thanks for your input!

I never did bother to clear the values and almost six months and 8,000 miles later there are no issues to report. Everything is working just fine. Therefore, I'm putting the value reset in the 'nice to have' column vs the 'must have' column.

Where did this verification come from? All sources including my dealers are saying that my xDrive ATC500 should be filled with Dexron III - it's driving me mad as I want to make sure I'm using the correct oil
