You'll need a BMW Group Tester One (commonly known as the GT1 tool) or an Autoenginuity tool.

I read it T$ and I dont think I would attempt it with 2 good hands mate ! Only BMW could come up with as complicated a procedure for chucking some oil in a gearbox !:hahaha:.. slightly unkind perhaps Thank goodness for BMW Warranty and Murketts !!

I Just done a blood transfusion on the CSL
Changed all the fluids except the SMG oil

Engine oil , Power steering fluid, Engine coolant Anti freeze, Gearbox oil, Diff oil, Brake fluid & I could do the last one myself...............The Screen wash.

There's really no real need to change the fluid in the SMG system to be honest, unless your pump needs changing. It's a sealed system and reality is it either works or it doesn't - given the pressure that it runs under.

the DIY looks complicated, but in reality it probably isn't that bad (from what I can gather anyway, have obviously not tried the job myself yet haha .. fingers crossed I won't have to!! Although chances are I'd just pay someone to do it haha).
