But since I'm paying for it anyway, I scheduled all fluids to be changed and I'll brind in the docs you all have so generously shared! Thanks!

Will keep you posted.

Rick, You should ask him how many 1M's he has serviced! I don't think many dealership personell know what is required for the 1M - since it is a sort of hybrid of 135i & M3 bits. Many dealers use the wrong engine oil. Well... at least YOU know what is required and make sure they use teh correct fluids.

I know at my (tiny)German dealership - I have the only 135i that they work on. They just sold their first 1M to a German customer. It should be delived soon. When I asked them a few months ago about rear diff fluids... at first they were not sure what was required - now they know, thanks to me. lol
