I think 2.5 or so for the manual trans (my indy did mine a few months back). Get 4 quarts. Worst comes to worst you'll have an extra quart for a future change!

Thanks for the info! I am sort of embarrassed that I couldn't find the info on the web. ct |

Not sure which transmission you have either, but that is a whole other debate.

Thanks for the advice. Sorry that I haven't taken the time to add more data. It's a 2001 so the synthetic should be fine. I'm curious why the later (XDrive) design is not compatible with synthetic.......please enlighten me. ct |

X drive transfer cases have clutch plates to vary torque distribution front/rear. Those clutch plates depend on specific friction additives in the fluid to work properly. Only the BMW fluid has those friction modifiers. There is no aftermarket fluid that has them since there isn't a published spec.

Ah yes.....shades of Positraction from 60's/70's GM musclecars. I had a '67 GTO and a '70 Trans AM. Both required special stuff for their "Posi" rear ends. "Only BMW fluid will do" reminds me of CHF 111 required for the power steering of my 94 e34 530i.
Anyway, I won't worry about it until I find a 6 speed X5 with the sport package. I like this 2001 model so well that I'm looking for another! ct |

What's this, JCL saying that it's not a bad idea to change transmission fluid for a manual tranny, even though BMW say that it is Lifetime???

Transmission - you can use D4 ATF, but I recommend using MTL or MT-90 depending on your climate.

What is funny is that people are spending additional money on a synthetic fluid with no functional benefit, and one which doesn't even meet the basic spec. The power of marketing $$.....
