Only found the quantity for the transmission fluid (2L) but not the diff fluid - anybody knows the going price for stock fluid from dealer vs Pentosin FFL-3 in North America (west coast)?
I think BMW NA says to change the fluids every third oil change or 45K miles. I still think thats way too long. I would change your fluids now - especially since you say the gearbox feels more notchy. The diff uses 1.2l You can buy the Pentosin fluid from any Porsche dealer.
