Anyone found a good way to replace more than 75% of the fluid?

Pan bolts are reusable. Years ago someone used MerconSP on a 335i. ZF fluid has really dropped in price since then so there really is no need to go off the reservation. Especially since you will change this fluid no more than twice during the life of the car.

Red line will say D6 ATF but why bother mixing ATF?

Pan drop will get most of the fluid. ZF expects 200k miles or more with just a pan drop every 45-60k miles.
