The diff fluid was on back order per the invoice. So now when the car gets here in approx 1 week I plan on taking it to my local BMW dealership to have the diff and tranny fluid changed. I am hoping the dealer here will do it without a hitch. Any thoughts on this matter?
You may have to pay for the tranny service. It all depends on the SA or Service Manager. If you want the dealer to service the tranny, make sure the have the LT-5 on hand otherwise you'll have to wait for them to get it. To prevent any mishaps, be sure to go over your service order in detail, what services and which fluids. Hope it goes without a hitch.
