So, update... they told me that the "first" oil change at 1,200 mile break in service "BMW doesn't count" so I have not had "enough" oil changes to cover my gearbox and rear differential change....
I guess I am going to have to find an Independent Shop

Almost sounds like they only do gearbox / rear diff fluids by mileage and not by time, and it's like 3 oil changes before they will do a gearbox. Sounds like I will be running into the same issue if I ask for a gearbox fluid change. My believe is any fluid has a life time but since BMW is paying for these, they see no reason to change fluid based on time before the warranty coverage ends. The biggest issue I have is how expensive the fluid is and the quantity they come in - gearbox needs about 1.25L but you can only get 1L bottles or big tank (can't remember how big but it's probably like 20L or something).

Just an update that might be interesting to those getting the part number for the correct 1M oil part # 83 21 2 365 946 in a dealer service.
I just got back from getting my oil changed at the dealer and noticed the oil part number was 83-21-2-405-085 BMW GROUP LL-01 5W-30:832511 which is different than the above. When I enquired as to the incorrect part number as compared to the above, the advisor checked with the service and they said that my part number is the same oil as 83-21-2-365-946 but it's from a barrel and thus has a different number. that is the litre bottle part number. Can anyone verify? |

As long as they used the correct oil... you are good. Don't worry over the exact part number - when it comes to oil(or gear or trans oils). Dackel

Just wanted to thank Mr.Metak2you and the others that have contributed to this thread over the past 4 years.
Just completed my last dealer covered maintenance. Had all fluids serviced, and this thread + associated knowledge / parts numbers gave me great peace of mind at the dealership. Plus now that all follow-on maintenance is on me, it's even easier to be sure that what I'm putting in the gearbox, diff, and motor is correct. Thanks!

A little more than 2.0 liters of oil. I think 2.2l
Just buy three liters of oil and keep adding oil until it spills out of the fill hole. Then your good. (of course make sure the car is level, first!) Dackel

Thanks Dackel
My BMW 1M Coupe uses a GS6-45BZ trans manufactured by ZF. Redline recommend their D6 ATF in this trans. http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=115&pcid=7 Discussions surrounding this vs the stock fluid on forums I've searched tend to revolve around cold shifting smoothness and fluid viscosity. From what I've read BMW owners also tend to be utterly petrified about departing from oils that come in BMW bottles. I simply want to use the best I can buy for this gearbox and don't care who makes it. I am also prepared to wait for the box to warm up before driving spiritedly and I l live in a climate which does not fall below 0*C. What concerns me about using ATF in a manual trans is it's anti-wear add pack. I don't want 'smooth shifting and good synchronizer performance' while sacrificing wear of gear sliding surfaces and shaft bearings. Clearly I need a mixture of these characteristics, I want the box to last, and was leaning towards using Redline MTL until I used their vehicle configurator tool and read some forums where either stock BMW or Redline ATF D4 is the majority. From Redline's manual trans lubes PDF found here http://www.redlineoil.com/content/fi...%2010-13-1.pdf Quote: "D4 ATF and High-Temp ATF provides the gear protection of a GL-4 gear oil in an automatic transmission fluid, which is far superior to a conventional ATF. This gear protection makes it perfect for lubricating automatic transaxles and high-performance automatic transmissions. The D4 ATF provides the best low-temperature shiftability. MTL® provides better wear protection in most manual transmissions which call for an ATF which can be very important in racing applications. MTL ® provides the low-temperature properties equivalent to a petroleum ATF. All Red Line transmission lubricants provide excellent synchronizer compatibility" Seems they're saying MTL provides better wear protection than their ATF oils.

Some guys here on the forums rave about the MTL. I probably will give that a try on my next trans service. Btw... I used Redline's ATF-D4 in my old e36 323i 5sp for over 120K kms. I never had any problems with RL in that car either. Dackel

The weird thing is the 1M box requires FFL-3 from pentosin. ZF make the trans and state this is their recommended fluid. BMW MTF-LT-5 was brought out specifically for the 1M, it is relabelled FFL-3.
FFL-3 is also used in the porsche pdk box. For that application redline state their DCTF is the replacement. Why then do redline state that D6 ATF is the replacement for FFL-3 in the 1M trans? These fluids are not equivalent. Seems like they've stuffed up there! Last edited by T1M; 11-14-2015 at 10:56 PM.. |

Alright official word from redline, DCTF is a more suitable substitute for MTF-LT-5 aka Pentosin FFL-3 than either D4 or D6.

Dealership telling me BMW 0W-30 replaced the 5W-30 back in the Fall of 2016, and is now their recommended oil for the N54. Service advisors were fully aware of the specific 1M fluids/needs.
BMW 0W-30 Twinpower Longlife Synthetic Oil New part number: 83-21-2-450-384 As a side note... still no airbag recall parts! (sad face).

I found this:
"BMW's newest TwinPower Turbo engine oil is LL01 FE+ certified. It meets BMW's standards for LongLife 2001 ("LL01") and improved fuel economy ("FE+"). The new 0W30 replaces the previous 5W30 oil used in some 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder, and V8 BMW models. As of December 2015, BMW has not backdated the 0W30 for any other engines but the LL01 rating might indicate it will be the new approved oil for most engines (and replace #83212365946 5W30 oil). Beginning with July 2015 production, new models came with 0W20 or 0W30 BMW oil. However, BMW dealerships continued to sell 5W30 until that stock was depleted. The 5W30 is an acceptable alternative to the 0W20 and 0W30 BMW oil per BMW's service bulletin. 0W30 oil is to be released in 2016." |

However, nobody seems to have mentioned changes in the Oil Filter parts: I received 11-42-7-953-129. ECS tuning shows that it fits N54/55 3.0L engines (https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...e/11427953129/) but didn't see anyone commenting on this. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks and hope everyone is still enjoying their 1Ms as much as I am! Last edited by crumbelieve; 05-14-2018 at 02:39 PM.. |
