To anyone doing this, I'd strongly recommend one of these. One of the few tools I don't have (ratcheting 6 points? who needs these?? obviously, BMW mechanics...).

One of the E6 bolts is really hard to access. This will make it way easier. I already bought one for next time.

The fluid capacity is actually just .4L, so you obviously got all of it out. The fluid in mine look terrible as well. It's worth nothing that almost every other Haldex-equipped car comes with a transfer case that holds about 1L of fluid. It's worth changing this on a someone regular basis, IMO.
Do you know if you can use a cover or sump from one of the other haldex equipped cars to increase the fluid capacity?

I think I recall seeing a Volvo with an aisin and also had a dipstick which would be brilliant if it could be retrofitted to the X1
