these gear oils, as long as they are classed GL4, are very, very similar. they may have different mixes of additives, but I've yet to see anything showing that BMW transmissions particularly need a special additive. i'd venture that most OEM fills are worse in quality than some of the boutique aftermarket fluids
Okay then just go for the GL-4 brand of oil that you are comfortable with. There is plenty of good oils to choose from and its just a personal choice.
