Anyone know what oil to use in transmission for E60's ZF 6HP19 box?

I am not saying changing the fluid will definitely correct your problem but it is a relatively low cost attempt at a solution before digging into the mechantronics unit. Also, unless you know the fluid was changed recently it is definitely time to do this vital preventive maintenance anyway.
ZF Lifeguard 6 is the approved fluid. It can be purchased through a ZF distributor or directly through the dealer.

I personally use Pentosin ATF1 which is recognized as an OE alternative but if the two fluids were very close in price I would probably recommend the ZF fluid.
Good DIY on changing the fluid.
