Fwiw, I watched my Indie do my '01 X5 5 spd manual trans: he used Redline MT90: about 1.3 qts +/-, and simply filled it until it started to dribble out the fill hole. He drained it first, of course, and it was kind of a long drain.

Did not look like a fun job with car on ground or even jacks; they had it lifted and used a pump gun gizmo to inject the new fluid. Anecdotal, but your X3 6spd trans has to be similar, imo.
