What type of fluid do you use in your automatic transmission? Most of the BMW transmissions were filled with standard Dexron III fluid. Dexron is a registered trademark of General Motors Corporation and is a Transmission Fluid specification that is required for use in most 3-Series E36 BMW automatic transmissions. In fact, GM manufactured many transmissions for BMW (the 325is transmission featured in this article has a big 'GM' stamp on the side). There should be a side plate attached to the transmission that will indicate which type of fluid you should install. There also may be a sticker on the side of one of the bottom sumps. On my car I found neither, but since it was a GM transmission, I used the Dexron fluid which has worked quite well. Mixing and matching different types of transmission fluid can cause your transmission to fail. pelicanparts.com/BMW/techarticles/E36-Tranny_Fluid_Auto/E36-Tranny_Fluid_Auto.htm
