Search (use the words "Gearbox AND oil" to narrow the search) will bring up quite a few posts about this such as

The gearboxes are marked as "filled for life" but the conscensous seems to be that changing improves the gearchange.
You could also ask Opie Oils for advice, they are members on here and post offers regularly and seem happy to advise

Indeed I have. It was suggested to be the same as the 3.0l, but no definitive answer.estocks wrote:Have you tried searching the forum at the Alpina Register?
I would strongly suspect your gearbox uses regular oil, since it is a standard gearbox.Leon. wrote:Indeed I have. It was suggested to be the same as the 3.0l, but no definitive answer.estocks wrote:Have you tried searching the forum at the Alpina Register?
