Manual Gearbox Oil Changed- Well worth it!

I expect lifetime only means 100k miles though, and I'm sure the bean counters only consider lifetime to be to the end of the warranty period...

As BMW think that gearbox/diff lubricants are lifetime fluids does this mean they are never changed when Inspection I / II are performed. If so I'm getting it booked in to get those done next week, I just assumed it would be part of the major service, whoops I mean Inpection II (I really must get up to speed on all this BMW terminology)

I assumed everything would be taken care of at the inspections too. It appears not, as far as I can tell it’s just engine oil, spark plugs and air filter that are changed. Just ticked over 90k so I’ve booked the coupe in this week for coolant, gearbox, diff and engine oil. I get brake fluid done every two years also.

Got mine changed at Munich Legends on Saturday.

I deffo recommend it also.

The gearbox is less notchy and much smoother now.
