In the last step: fill up the gearbox with oil until it starts dripping and only then you can tighten the plug; keep the engine running.

Nice garage. What brand are the car lifts and how much did it cost? Are they enough for the X3?
In the garage What dimensions do you have from wall to wall? Would love to build a similar garage to your here in RO.

[@dionich]

Thanks. The lift is chinese, bought it here in Lithuania for 1450€ back then. Now it is more expensive - bds.lt/en/mobile-scissor-lift-bd-s2
It lifts to 1.1m and the pit is around 1.1m, so in general you can stand properly under the car. Lift's capacity is 3.5 tons. Garage inner diamentions are 7.5 x 5.8m. I did this lift + pit combo so that there would be no need of making height garage. I will make a video later on about the building process with pics.

Hi, when should I change the gearbox oil? And how often?

[@dionich]

It used to be every 80000km.

Thanks for this video. I would like to bring my F25 28i to you for transmission oil service if you located near me. Can you please pm just your city to me.. The dealership I take car to refused to do the transmission oil service for my car that has 52k miles.

[@dionich]

I'm in europe, I guess you are somewhere elsewhere

[@chetanjiva8874]
