I'm wondering if someone can verify that our M235i's with manual transmission take MTF-LT-5, or if not what else from BMW.
I'd like to do a flush and would prefer to stick with the OEM fluid for now.
I've looked in the manual and it is not mentioned anywhere.

I appreciate the input and what you could use, but that's not what I'm looking for.. It's not what BMW puts in when building the car and that's what I'm after.
I'll jack the car and stare at the label soon, hopefully later today.

Correct.

All vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (GS6-45BZ) and the N55 engine require the MTF-LT-5 long-term fluid.

BMW P/N 83 22 2 239 654 – 1 liter
BMW P/N 83 22 2 239 655 – 20 liter

Good stuff, thanks for the that!

With that info I could find this to confirm.

Hey guys! So I have a 228 and ordered MTF LT 5, but I believe my recommended oil is MTF LT 3. I can't find 3 anywhere online.

Should return the oil and try and get LT 3? Are there differences? What are they?

Thanks for the help!

If you're still interested , I found LT3 at Pelican Parts .The Fuchs OEM brand looks like a much better choice to me.If you had a warranty claim, I don't see how A dealer could tell it wasn't BMW fluid.

Local reputable BMW shop didnt recommend changing it until 50k miles or so
