suspension / service
Morning Jerry All straight forward stuff, even easier if you have access to a lift. If not the get the car as high as possible and well supported on axel stands. Gearbox I use ZF parts and Longlife fluid last service parts Fluid Filter gaskets etc cost £250 as a kit (Tip make sure you can undo the filler plug first) If your car has Dynamic Drive rear diff it will nave 3 compartments requiring 2 different oils 2 outer chambers use a Carbon Modified SAE 75 80 oil (i buy from BMW it comes in measured .5ltr bottles) the main Diff section uses a standard 75 90 (I use Liquid Moly) same tip make sure you can undo the filler plugs first I know two people who drained the diff and couldn't move the filler plug !! Front Diff Oil and Transfer case fluid I buy from BMW, the transfer case drain plug is a Faff to get to BMW drop the Transfer case support frame, I brought a stubby Hex drive set so I could get at it If you have INPA/ISTA there are Workshop directions and guides Good luck Dave -

Diesel Engine Running Rough
Hi Paul Welcome to the Forum You need a good Independent Garage but one with BMW capable diagnostics or a BMW Specialist who will have the kit and knowledge There is a Register of BMW Specialists which you could Google which should give you some local contacts Poor servicing is sadly quite common due to (a) many modern cars can have the service indicator reset without work (b) extended service intervals due to modern oils some up to 30k are just nuts. That means a car with 70k may only have had 2 services ?? The only real evidence is a good old stamped book and a wedge of receipts Hope this helps Dave -
