Ok done at dealer. They did the flush the way I wanted and ended up using 3qts of fluid.

The 992 is the fluid called for according to their system and what was put in.

Documents state why we had to flush and replace.

I'm satisfied I'm covered from a warranty perspective, but I'm still going to reach out to BMWNA and try to get them to cover me longer.

At the end of the day, I have Geico mechanical break down insurance so if this rear end dies after warranty, I'm still covered. I'll be keeping all documentation of this error and communication with BMWNA in my safe and electronically. May be overkill, but I am concerned about potential long term effects of the 1000 miles I put on it with the wrong weight fluid.

After I drive it this weekend with the new fluid, I'll talk about a perceived difference I thought I felt a few days ago before I knew about the wrong fluid being in there.

I want to see how she performs at the rally this weekend first.
