Now here's the kicker. While doing a comparison search for oil pans, I put my VIN in realoem.com and it said that I have a GM GA6L45R transmission, not a ZR 6HP19. So I'm going to wait until I pull the cover off the bottom of the car and confirm it's a ZR transmission. It appears that the GM transmission is only for xis, but I got enough conflicting data that I'll check closely before draining the oil. Red Line D4 is not compatible with the GM transmission, and if that's the case, I'll just do the project another day.
I assume that everyone who's done this has found a ZR transmission? For those with xis deciding to do this, make sure you get Dexron VI specs, not Shell M1375.4 specs.

Only the 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi, 335i and 335xi got the ZF transmission, 328i and 328xi got the GM transmission.
