the number that you gave me for motorwerks bmw is incorrect.
the guy at patrick bmw told me the part number ending 929 is generic numbers and some dealers do use it for 1/2 liter measurement but they only use 1 liter measurement.
the guy at joe perillo bmw told me that part number is right for 1/2 liter measurement. he told me that there's designated fluids part # on bottom of every transmission on bmw vehicle which in this case saying the one ending 516, which is 20liter jug. that's how the dealership gets. but when they do sell it to general public they can use smaller measurements like the one ending 929 and indeed if i want 1/2 liter that's the number that they will use.
he also told me that since i've done this at the bmw dealership, there's no way they could've used other transmission oil for other vehicle. the part numbers ending 929 is only for pricing purpose and is same exact oil as the part numbers ending 516.
hopefully that answers your question...
