That link doesn't work either. The site changed a while ago so maybe some of the links are a bit iffy. Try this:
tech.bentleypublishers.com/servlet/JiveServlet/.../66.../ATFCapacity.pdf
It looks like an extract from TIS anyway.

It would actually be useful if you posted where you are. As you use 'quart' as a measurement, I am guessing you are in N America where you got the 4 speed GM A4S310R in the 525i. In Europe, Japan and S Africa you got the 5 speed ZF 5HP18. Filling is similar. But if you want a giggle, have a look where the fill plug is on the 5HP18

Edit: The link I just posted doesn't work. May need some help from the Mods here
