I was offered to buy the fluid from the dealer, they would sell it, but the price was a shocker at $41 per qt.

So I found this place. WIN.

ZF LifeGuard 6 - Case of 12 x 1L Container

You can buy the fluid here. Sure as hell beats dealer price of $41 per quart.

Hmmm $194/case when all it is is DEX6 synthetic ATF. 12 qts of Mobil1 Which is Dex6 is $96. It's your money but it's the same stuff. I'm under the impression that BMW shops don't even use the ZF. When there are so many ATFs that are cheaper that meet or exceed the Esso spec. Castrol, Mobil1, Guess what? Pep Boys Brand dex6 meets the spec at like $6 a qt.

DEX6 is DEX6. I've had it in my transmission for 60,000 plus miles, lots of towing and hard miles. why would you pay more? It's a GM trans.

The only GM trans ever offered in the X was the autbox that came with the 3,0 L engine, this thread is discussing the ZF transmissions that were mated to the V8s.
