Also, how many litres of ATF fluid do I need? The dealer is quoting about $31 per litre but they don't have pre-packaged bottles like engine oil. They suggested I bring a large container to hold it.

How often should I the tranny fluid once I start changing the "lifetime" fluid?
I got my stuff here:http://www.thectsc.com/
Had my mechanic do the change. 2 hrs labor.
58K miles
Do a search. Someone just did an ATF change at 135K no problems. The AFT is meant to be changed at 100K according to BMW. I would just do it.

Edit: I see you are in Toronto and have a 330I. A US 330 has a ZF trans. I'm not sure about the CA one. I have a ZF and the link I gave if for ZF parts. If you have a GM it's different. Check before you proceed.
