@@diysignal3107 thank you very much!!

Just purchased an X3. Adding that one to my list... Was it OK to reuse the fill and drain plugs?

[@diysignal3107]

yes, its fine if the plug is still in good condition

[@T80Delta]

Recommended to use replacements because there is a built-in rubber o-ring. I got a kit from FCPEuro that included the fluid and two new drain plugs. Seems like cheap insurance.

@The Last hope Yes, we enjoy it. Mine is in a " needs tidying" condition. I am a little disappointed with the fuel consumption. It's sitting on about 23 mpg (uk) which is only a little better than my E65 v12. Perhaps the N52 version may be a bit better.

I thought you need to change both rear and front differential oil? Video doesn't show how to change front differential oil.

Does the car not need to be level?

[@diysignal3107]

Its good can level up to horizontal with machine lifter, if you do it in own house find a flat floor.

If it’s leaks like mine where would it be leaking from ?

[@diysignal3107]

it might from the wrong torqye, over or lower. maybe washer can help on.

[@naruland6900]

It is not necessary to change the screw gasket?

[@diysignal3107]

not necessary but recommended 👌

[@Resq28]

Hello, what oil did you use? And how many Kms are on your e83? Thank you

[@diysignal3107]

hi, I use 75w-90 API GL-5

Ciao ma questo è l'olio del cambio

[@diysignal3107]

ciao, grazie per il commento. L'olio differenziale, noto anche come olio per ingranaggi, è più denso rispetto all'olio motore. Come olio lubrificante, l'olio per ingranaggi previene il danneggiamento dei componenti metallici dei veicoli e ne aumenta le prestazioni complessive. L'olio rende anche facile per le auto fare le curve senza problemi.
