Here is the link for the fluid recomendations incase anyone needs it.
PS: It has since changed due to the recall in 2016, bmw now recommends any F8X owners to use MSP/A differential oil, not SAF-XJ.
I believe the MSP/A oil is still SAF-XJ, but there may be additional additives. I think they did this because too many people kept using SAF-XJ + FM which damaged the diff and was only mean for the E9X M cars.
Anyways on a different note I was wondering if anyone used the approved aftermarket oils. I am looking to use the castrol syntrax limited slip oil since it is alot cheaper than the OEM stuff (in canada anyways) and is approved as an alternate to bmw MSP/A.
