I don't know. I just know they are different!

IF you want to stay with a BMW fluid... I would buy some Pentosin MTF-LT5 from a Porsche dealer. See the 1M fluid change DIY "sticky" for the part number. Its cheaper thru Porsche than BMW. Go figure.


I am also using the wrong fluid. I have been using Redline's ATF-D4 but I am very happy with it. When I changed fluids from LT3 to LT4... I did not noticed any difference. IF anything when cold the trans was a little bit harder to shift. I always had a rough 1st to 2nd gear gear change when cold. Then I switched to Redline ATF-D4 and was very happy I did. Shifts feel a lot smoother and more slicker. The shift effort is less when cold too.

I will change my fluid soon, so maybe I will post some pics for you all.
