I also found this post on the M3 forum...
But this is in regards to the 1,200 mile service on an M3. It is also written in German, but its nice bc it references the BMW part numbers for the fluids. I still think using
MTF-LT-4 is the way to go though, since that is what is listed in the parts dept pc.
The main problem is when you go to order the rear diff oil thru the dealer... the smallest container it comes in is 60L drum. But in this post bellow he lists a 1L container for SAF-XJ
83 22 1 467 993 (one liter)
I already have my oil... but its interesting never the less. Its also trange the read diff oil comes in a 1L bottle because I have only seen it in 500ml bottles over here. ??? Maybe that was a typo?
