I assume oil/filter change, rear diff fluid, and other checks?

Yes, you are correct on all. Here is the service order from my break in service.

(Job A which is not shown just says customer is waiting).

i bet your next post is gonna be "what happens if you are late getting it done"...

yes, that's all they do but cmon man. At least pretend you tried to search on your own. There is literally 4 threads asking this exact same thing in the maintenance sub thread with many many answers.

please

Does that show 105 Quarts of oil? Is this break in service for a train or something?

The extra oil is needed to unlock full POWER!!!!

Lol that got me, too. Good eye. It's on my list to ask my SA then next time we're in touch. I thought it was a simply a typo, but then I thought that these things (meaning what the car needs) get filled in by the system based on the VIN, not providing for a transpositional/clerical type of error.

Mine involved fitting the entire m-performance carbon additions, so I’m probably not the best person to ask!

That's more reasonable. Does that sound about right? I don't change the oil on this obviously lol.

Shame on me, I know.

i thought the oil was liters, not quarts iirc.

ETA: found it

Didn't even think about that. Of course liters would make more sense.

basically almost the same thing

I meant that a German car would use metric measurements and probably not list quantity in quarts on a service order! so it's probably not 10.5 quarts either

For what it’s worth when you run the ISTA oil measurement test plan it provides you the amount to add in liters.

Change oil and filter. Put in too much oil (hell it called for 11 so I used 11), over tighten filter hosing and drain plug, not change the ring on the drain plug.

Change oil in Rear Diff. Put the wrong oil in it. Use the oil for the diff on an X5. Not tell you. Never admit it.

Change oil in front diff, put it in until it runs out the fill hole, not noting that it take 0.6 liters and not to over fill, and not tell you.

Change the oil in the transfer case, not run the electric stuff to cycle the valves, over fill it and again never admit it.

Turn off the Run In Service light.

Go out and test drive it like they stole it.

Call you and chastise you for missing the run in service mile mark by 100 miles and forget to report to BMW that the run in service was done.

Did I miss anything? Oh of course. They reset all the electronics and wipe out your radio presets and other user defined items. And maybe loose your keys.

Half Tongue in Cheek, other half my local dealer SUCKS.

My friends recent run in with them amplifies my opinion of their suction. Hi Suction for Sure.

I DIY as much as I can. Currently wrestling with 'restrain system failure' which is intermittent and likely the sensor in the passenger seat. Another quality car component from the Ultimate Driving Machine company.

I have fully functional ISTA on my laptop and plenty of tools. I did the items in the "run in service" myself. I changing the fluid in my transmission this spring along with the brake fluid. Life time Transmission fluid my ASS. Lifetime of your warranty maybe, but not the actual car.

Sorry to hear about your bad experiences. ZF also agrees that "lifetime" fluid has a "lifetime". I am intimidated by the run up temperature requirements for change however.

I wanna do the front diff, and have the instructions, but haven't done it yet (my CS is only one year old and doesn't really have all that many miles -yet).

Front diff pretty straight forward. biggest pain is removing the large metal under plate. Many bolts. I had one that was oddly missing (snapped off by 'dealer') and was not fun getting the broken part out. The front Diff calls for 600 ml of fluid. no more no less. has drain and fill plug. Each Diff calls for a different fluid. Same for transfer case.

Rear diff same, drain and fill plug, takes more, I have to check the records on that one.

Transfer case is the pain. Need access to ISTA or properly working scanner tool to open the valves. The mechanical part requires sucking the fluid out with a big ass syringe. Refill that until it overflows.

You should support transmission before removing the bracket which holds the transfer case in place. I think you can actually get at the drain and fill hole without removing the bracket, but I did not try. Sorta an afterthought.

Hah yeah. Still wouldn’t need 105 and there’s no period there so it’s not 10.5. When googling the part number I found someone else’s receipt and it showed 6.. so I’m guessing it normally requires 6 quarts (or liters). 😄
