you accidently drunk the royal purple and put the beer in the tranny?
so you put an engine oil into auto gearbox instead of ATF fluid. Now go buy more ATF fluid and keep flushing. ATF fluid is a detergent basically so it will eventually flush it out. Oil is not corrosive so it should not have damaged any bushings and shit, you will be fine OP. Just do 3-4 complete flushes with ATF, always warm it up, you will be good.

What's wrong with buying an older e46?
Pic of m3. No auto transmissions available.
Be more vague.
