Saw somewhere on a different forum that the cold transmission fluid recaptured from the pan change can just simply be measured in new fluid and placed back in the new pans fill hole. I think that works great if you assume the level was correct before the transmission oil change but as long as everything is cold you could just fill until it begins to pour out. I have watched a video put on by ZF and still can not understand why the fluid has to be at a certain temp to refill, especially when all they do is put in cold fluid in the process of topping off. See it here:


My thoughts as I plan to do this on my X3 35i with 95K on the likely original trans oil.
