Changing manual E61 gearbox/differential oil?

Hi, I am finding it difficult to obtain these oils at a sensible price.  BMW are quoting around £120. 00 for 4 litres of oil and that just sticks in my throat. Anybody out there got any better sources?

Thanks Paneuro

    Hi Andrew

    Lucky you haven't got an E70 Transfer case oil I was quoted £60 a litre 😪 No I didn't pay it, got it from ZF a 1/3rd of the price

    Try ZF direct or a ZF Agent or if you have the part number try Euro Car Parts or Google

    Good Luck

    Happy Christmas

    Try AutoDoc, they are doing good deals lately on oils. I got a great deal on Mobile 1 recently which was surprizing considering the price of everything going up lately.
