Differential oil/fluid change on E60

Discussion in 'E60 (2004-2010)' started by TMQ, Mar 12, 2008.

    I've asked this else where before, and have asked Mike Miller also. Has anyone got the differential oil change done on their E60? (either after breakin or after 30k or 50k).

    I was informed that the E60 indeed has a drain plug.

    I'd like to get it done at a reasonable price, but don't want to be the first.

    Thanks.

    I'd like to know this as well. I'm going in this week to have the engine oil/filter changed after the break-in, and would also like the differential oil changed. The SA didn't seem interested in doing it.

    Actually the E60 does not have a drain plug. But the fluid can still be removed from the fill port. I had it done at an independent shop found on BIMRS. Cost less than $70.

    Diff and Manual Trans Oil change

    What is recommended for the diff oil? I had a 1994 E34 5 speed and used Red Line in the tranny and diff with no problems.

    I have 2005 530 with 6 speed manual. Anybody change the trany oil yet? Is this just as easy as my E34 was?

    According to Mike Miller, use the Redline fluids.
