Proper Manual Transmission Fluid

Hey all,

I am getting fairly confused here. I am looking to change the fluid in my tranny and I am trying to figure out what the OEM fluid is. Thanks to BMW's "lifetime" crap they don't list it in the manual.

I have contacted Jason at Tischer and he says it takes MTF-LT-3 fluid and they have a 5 liter bottle for sale (I only need 2 for crying out loud). I also called my dealer and they said I need MTF-LT-2 and they have .5 liter bottles available for sale. I have also seem much discussion on here saying you are supposed to use ATF in these trannys.

My question is, which is it?!?! Any thoughts?
