Your dealer is incorrect, alot of dealers are making this mistake not sure why. But when the m4 first launched dealers frequently messed up and filled the diff with saf-xj + fm which was used only for the old E series diff instead of the F series M cars. This caused premature wear and tear on the F series diff.
At some point during the F series life cycle bmw ditched saf-xj for MSP/A which is now the recommended differential fluid. Alot of dealers and online vendors and online forum advice is still recommending the outdated saf-xj which is absolutely incorrect.

Part number: 83222365988
So this is the oil you should be getting.
I finally found a retailer for MSP/A in Canada that is selling it for a reasonable price so I will no longer be going with the Castrol syntrax limited slip oil.

Incorrect it's MSP/A, bmw updated the fluid requirements.

Interesting, not sure who is selling this in the US, unless we go other manufactures.
