Can someone else confirm if tranny oil can be purchased from dealership?

1) It is not illegal to sell you oil. LOL
2) They do charge a lot of $$$$ per liter.
3) Be careful of "high quality" oil, whatever oil you buy make sure it is an approved oil. The oil I used specifically lists our oil. See attached spec sheet. I believe Mobil 1 synthetic ATF is not recommended for BMW transmissions.
Sidenote, the dealer and BMW claim that transmission oil is lifetime, then why do they carry barrels of the stuff?!
