Because if those instructions apply to the e70 using that pan, it doesn't make sense. The trans fill hole means the level that the trans can take up to whether you have a super deep or a shallow pan.

Klaus was saying to not use the fill hole as the indicator of when pan is full enough (getting the dribbling from same place). He was saying the top off procedure was to let oit dribble out the "raised hole" in the pan. I know this seems wierd. If you use fill hole method, you will over fill by ~ 1 liter he says.Presume this would be same case on the E90 trans too. To be transparent, I had asked Klaus in context of the E90. Klaus was very strong in discouraging me to use the E53 pan on my E90 trans.
Guys, do what you want. I only wanted to share the advice i was given. He also told me that using the aluminum pan would amount to no difference in trans performance. I just like the looks of the pan and conceed i likely spent more on the mod than i will save in future trans fluid changes.
