Hello,
The total transmission fluid capacity is 9 - 10 litters, depending on the oil cooler that was used from the factory.
Unfortunately, BMW does not provide the drain and fill capacity as most of the time that quantity will vary depending on temperature and other factors.
Usually, the best method is to measure the amount of fluid that comes out and refill accordingly.
I know you are in a predicament about not having enough fluid as you should have gotten more than just 2.5L of fluid.
The trick is to add fluid through the port, until fluid comes out of it then it is considered full.
The fluid type that can be used is Dexron VI for most US spec vehicles. You might want to call your local dealer and provide them with the VIN to find the fluid type as some of them used a different fluid.
I have attached the fluid adding procedure below.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
