If you done a Zf transmission fluid and pan changed before then its pretty much the same with the exception of X-drive (Gotcha), Its hard to access the rear 3 pan bolts due the transfer case frame been in the way, You can use a scissors jack to slightly lift the Transfer case and use a stubby Torx bit to undo the rear pan bolts
Other wise its very similar to the E90 335i tranmission with only 13 pan bolts (on the 8hp45) vs 23 (on the Zf 6hp26)

That's what I meant, not a flush but replace the pan/oil. my 335 is rwd and has three pedals. I've done the fluid twice on that though. Thanks for the insight! Damn all wheel drive..
