I own BMW 323i 2000What are my other options for BMW transmission fluid?NO WAY!!!! The BMW trans(and 90% of the other Euro transses) is built by the ZF company. They require a special fluid. It is either golden or purply-blue in color, and has TOTALLY different coefficients of friction and lubricity. Try to find a foreign car parts store that carries the full line-up of PENTOSIN products. Or use the Internet to shop for you. You should be able to get it for about $6/liter. If you live in Michigan, try calling S%26amp;G auto parts, 248-477-0410. Why did your trans NEED to get rebuilt???What are my other options for BMW transmission fluid?you can use flui d that is up to bmw spec BUT do not use cheap as if itwrecksyour box you aint goin to b a happy bunny. wait till you can aford good qualityWhat are my other options for BMW transmission fluid?I have an old, (88 735i), and have used their transmission fluid. Just make sure it is the same grade. But did you have the tranny rebuilt and does it have a warranty? If so, you may be stuck using the BMW recommended for that. You can check the link and see if it is less expensive online, but it will still be fairly high.What are my other options for BMW transmission fluid?
Oils have weights and other service qualifications on their labels. Match the oil you want to buy to the weight and service that BMW oil says it is. AutoZone will have oil you can use. They will have a catalog near the oil display you can use to look up your correct fluid.
