MINI OE fluid is the easiest to get your hands on, but you can find it aftermarket through some vendors, such as us.
Do you have a computer capable of reading transmission temp? You need to know what trans temps are to properly do a fluid drain and fill on these, as the fluid level will change with temperature. Without knowing the temps you may be underfilling the trans, even if you think you put in the "same amount you took out" it may not be properly filled.

Folks keep posting alternative fluids here but devils in the details. I had inde shop put in a purported "Amsoil equivalent" for my R53's MTF-LT3 but it shifted hard until warmed up. After some research found it wasn't correct viscosity, it was aok for MTF-LT4!
Just because someone says they have the snake oil equivalent in the end they just want the sale, but it's your $5K dollar transmission. Press for info on what the oil specs are.
