This link is for a 5 series DIY, but much if it is relevant because it is the same transmission. I think for DIY'ers one of the key things that you need to do is run the transmission through all the gears when refilling and at the prescribed temperature. I got my service kit from California Transmission Supply Company, which includes the correct BMW fluid (ZF Lifeguard6). I will be doing my service in the next week or so at 45K miles. I'm having a local transmission shop do the labor.
