BMW F80 Rear Differential Fluid Replacement DIY (2015-2018 BMW F80 M3, F82 M4, F87 M2 Competiton)

►Over the first 50,000 miles of skids, pulls, and cruising, your BMW's differential fluid will degrade until it no longer provides the lubricating properties it needs to prevent excess wear. At that point, BMW specifies a differential fluid replacement, but we'd be willing to bet many models out there have double the miles without any service. Differential fluid changes are often neglected, and that can mean problems down the road.
The specialized gear fluid is like engine oil in that it breaks down with use. Splitting the S55's power between the two rear wheels is a strenuous job, and the ring and pinion need to stay cool and lubricated for that to happen as designed. The replacement process can be a bit smelly thanks to the old fluid, but it's a quick job with very few steps.
In this video, FCP Euro's Professional DIYer, Mike Hidalgo, Replaces the differential fluid in an F82 BMW M4.

Hey can you guys show how to lift modern BMWs with a regular jack with all fours in the air? I know in the back jack point is on the diferential but the front one is a little tricky. Thanks.

I just did mine and used the genuine saf xj fluid. Bmw said to you one liter bottle and that’s all I put. It’s that enough? There was a little coming out the fill hole but it’s wasn’t a stream like yours

[@fcpeuro]

As long as fluid came out of the fill whole, it was filled enough! If nothing comes out after filling it, then more fluid is needed.
