Lambeau is on a distinguished road
I re-used the bolts and filled it to the bottom of the fill hole and now have 73,000 miles driven since I did this with ZERO issues. BMW specifies exactly 600ml and to re-use the bolts so it discourages owners from performing their own work so they can overcharge like they do everything else. I also used Pentosin instead of BMW fluid when I changed my trans fluid and the cheapest trans pan/filter I could find on Ebay and now have 75,000 miles driven since trans fluid change (175,000 total miles on trans) with ZERO issues. I do all of my own work and use the cheapest parts I can find on Ebay for wheel bearings and suspension pieces with zero issues. Pi$$ on BMW and their overpriced rip-off scheme.
