Good write-up, nice photos as well.

I know that you specified that this procedure is for a 4.4, but it may be worth clarifying the point further as this will be a reference for other X5 owners. As BMW uses transmissions from different manufacturers, the transmission fluid specs are very different. A comment to the effect that "this procedure is very similar for the 3.0, but ensure that you check your transmission for your specific fluid requirements" may save a future 3.0 owner from putting the wrong fluid in.

Good job

Jeff

cary is on a distinguished road
I am currently going through the fluid issue with the 3.0 tranny. There were apparently 4 different fluids use in the GM tranny with no ryme or reason with when it was used. You have to pull the PN of the fluid off the pan to order the correct one.
