Hopefully the prospect of increased risk and diminished resale value from a partially voided warranty and the unnecessary wear and tear is enough to incentivize you to get this FREE (in the US) service performed.

If that's what the E9x M3 service cost, I'm betting that not having the trans service plus not having to buy 9 liters of $15/liter 10W60 oil will drop that pretty dramatically. My friends who aren't BMW people are shocked that an oil service on my car costs ~$180.

On the e9x the first service was more like 700 euros. You guys forget that most dealers over here charge 140 euros per hour, and ONE liter of oil is about 32 euros. Its not hard to drop some serious change. Plus gas costs about $9/gallon. And ohh an M3/M4 will set you back atleast 100K euros over here. Quality costs.

Bahahahahahaha..........
"The only thing new is that now BMW says you MUST replace the oil pan plug/screw and differential screw/plug with new ones! The crush o-ring is now built into the screw." Just when you thought you were out!!!(not having to pay $15/L 10w-60for oil) BMW pulls you back in with, (replace the plugs with new ones.) I'm guessing copper is going up in Germany or BWM is following Audi with drain plugs that come with steel/metal washer$

Greetings from near the Ring, where I am also prepared to pay the rip-off The only reason, why it makes sense to pay the German mark-up, is, that we can use the potential of the car more often around here |

This is not fair. I always believed, that due to BMW-Castrol partnership, the BMW LL oil used should be the same quality as the original Castrol Egde.
I'm really disappointed to see the BMW oil burns a lot more. On the other had, BMW Service would never allow you to use another oil, even if it's Castrol, during warranty period. BS. |

No, it's called tax - over here. The Germans tax the fuel and oil like crazy to pay for the road system. That isn't quite enough, so it looks like in 2016 they will start to tax all cars on the German Autobahn, Bundestrasse and local roads. Germany Proposes a Road Tax Aimed Primarily at Foreigners http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/08/bu...oreigners.html I checked with a friend who works for BMW AG... seems there is another very important reason to have the first service done at a dealer! Not until the first oil service is done, will the new F8x M cars be able to activate Launch Control. The dealer also has to use the BMW scan tool and not reset the system via the instrument panel(kombi). Here is the BMW AG warning... Also the first oil service should run about ~350 euros at most BMW Zentrum's in Germany. The service is a lot cheaper than the e9x M3's because the trans fluid doesn't get changed and the oil for the S55(same oil as for the N54/N55's) is a lot cheaper than the TWS 10w60 Castrol M oil for the old M3's.

BMW says either one. But 0w40 works better at extreme cold and hot climates/temps, so that might be the one to use.

Went in for my 1200 mile service today. I called in the day before to make sure they had the diff oil. The engine oil is just standard BMW LL4 oil, but the diff oil is special. Fortunately they had it in stock, so I brought the car in this morning. UNFORTUNATELY, they do NOT have the plastic oil drain plug in stock. So, this means that the car is stuck. Screw for engine oil pan/plug: 11 11 7 849 396 Screw for differential: 33 11 7 525 064 |

It depends on your dealer. Some even do not use BMW oils! So its best to ask and "inform" them of what oil you want in your car.

Just get the first service done today. My tech said the oil parts number is actually 07-51-0-017-954, which shows on the dealerspeed website. He did replace all 3 screws, 2 for differential and 1 for the oil plug. The parts number for those screws are the same as the OP provided.
