Weird, but that's not what the bmw etk, tis, and tsb (that was released awhile back) says.

Since I've seen so many dealers mess up with this simple procedure by still filling up with the saf-xj + FM fluid, I wouldn't trust them. I would trust the recommendations of bmw directly which is to run MSP/A.

If you cannot get this I guess it would be a toss up between Castrol syntrax or saf-xj. What I can say is that saf-xj was used previously and I don't remember their being an issue, but Castrol syntrax is indeed recommended as a suitable replacement by bmw so it's your choice on what to use. I personally would have went with syntrax by following the tis.
