Edit: The transmission filling is very specific about volume at a certain temperature. Might want to check that. Bentley is OK, but I'd recommend a BMW TIS dvd
Yeah, I know the procedure is tricky. When I did it last summer, it was pretty hot, so by the time I got under the car with the engine running and having go through the gears and got the filler plug removed, the oil was probably too hot already. At least that is my theory as to why I was able to add almost a quart when I checked it a few months ago. Of course that time I wasn't able to put it through the gears due to the TRANS FAILSAFE PROG condition at startup. So yeah, the transmission is probably going to be a headache to deal with when I get to that point.

I'd have loved to just swap in a 6 speed manual, but it seems only Nick P has pulled this off and seems to be holding the CAD drawings for the adapter plates close to the vest.
