I used mobil 1 atf
On a 525i you can use automatic transmission fluid (atf). I replaced mine with mobil 1 atf at about 88,000 as I was sure it had never been replaced.
You can use a suction device (I used a turkey baster-get something easier/better) to remove the fluid in the plastic reservoir, refill, start and turn right/left a few times, then repeat the empty/fill process until the fluid looks clean enough to suit you. I used about 3 quarts of atf.
I had no problems, just preventive measures as this was the last of the fluids to be changed in the car after I purchased it last year.
