Did my 1200 mile service today. BMW of El Cajon. 3 hours.

Receipt says:

Set oil filter element, screw plug + gasket, motor oil 5w-30, screw plug with o-ring, final drive gear oil, 1 quart of antifreeze/coolant.

I have a 6MT, so no DCT info.

I was thinking of paying to change the DCT fluid (I purchased the M4). Was wondering of anybody did it?

thinking about going to Shelly or Crevier, anybody have a SA they can recommend?

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Don't forget the differential plugs (two of them) have to be changed too. I had this skipped on my first attempt and went back and had them do it. They had to of course change the fluid again.

Let me know how long they take to service your car.
I will probably go there in 2-3 weeks.

i dropped the car off around 8 and was ready around 2:30. I didn't wait, got a loaner 428i GC I must admit I really like the hatch.

they replaced the bolt on the oil pan and the two diff bolts as well.
Here are the part numbers from my work order:
QTY FP-Number Description
1 11-42-7-566-357 Set Oil-Filter Elem
1 PKO
7 07-51-0-017-954 Motor Oil SAE 5W-30
1 11-11-7-849-396 Screw plug with GAS
1 PKXJ XJ DIFF OIL
6 83-22-1-467-993 Differential oil
XJ DIFF OIL
2 33-11-7-525-064 SCREW PLUG WITH O-R

I had great service from Richard Kim, thanks for the recommendation
