I'll make it brief:
'06 Cooper S with 100k. I wan't to replace the transmission fluid and can't seem to find a good source on which to buy.
After all my digging, i believe this is what I want:

Can someone just confirm that this is the correct oil?
Thank you!

Redline MTL in TRACKRAT and GP1772.
Vendor
Red Line also provides an easy to use application guide here. I've run their products and have no complaints. For the manual '05 S MTL 75W80 GL-4 quart is what you're wanting.

Does having a factory LSD change these recommendations?

With the factory LSD, you want the OEM Texaco MTF94 or Redline MTL (75W80).Originally Posted by NiceGuyEddie

Without the factory LSD, you can use a lighter gear oil like BMW LT-3 (which
is what comes in such boxes stock) or a suitable replacement like Redline D6
(yes, ATF, but it works well in this manual application and is the closest oil to
LT-3). You can also use MTF94 or Redline MTL in a non-LSD R53 manual box,
but you might not like it as much if you have cold winters where you live.
MPG might drop 1 mpg or so as well with the heavier oil.

I've used the redline MTL with and without LSD and it works great. Usually find it shifts a little smoother too.
