You have a rear wheel drive and it's an easy repair. Do not cheap out on the oil. Get ZF lifeguard 6 fluid and make sure you follow the fill procedure to the letter. You will need someone to help when you do it.

That's the oil I have. I didn't want to chance some off brand oil, it's a BMW. I'm not rushing myself or cheaping out on anything, especially being my first transmission job. I was planning to use the instructions in Kyle's thread on this board to fill. Seemed very detailed, which is definitely what I need.

That's the thread you need to be looking at. If you follow the steps you will be fine. Post back if you have an issue after installing
