That realoem diagram means you have a GM unit. You need to check the color label it has on it to make sure you get the right fluid. Here is a chart I found.....Quote:

According to AllData, for your car, use ESSO ATF LT 71141 BMW 83 22 0 002 121 should be used, but it also says to check the label. I posted a picture showing you exactly where the plate is, should take all but 5 minutes to do it, including time for jacking up the car.
other choices... from the ZHPMafia Amazon store
