MTF and Differential Service Interval
Just had my 1200 break-in service performed today. I know my next oil change will be at 10k (or earlier, if I do one myself at 5k). My question is: when is my next differential fluid change due, and when is the first manual transmission fluid drain/refill recommended? Thanks!

BMW specs the brake fluid to be every 2-3 years. Coolant is lifetime fill now. There is no powersteering fluid on this car.. Plugs I'd do every 15K when tuned, or every 30K or so. No need to do fuel filter that early..

Do you know if anyone did an analysis on the break-in MTF fluid (blackstone will do this)? I'd be interested to know if it had a high level of metals, etc or if it's truly not necessary to replace it.

Sorry to revive a dead thread but I just found this:

Agree, many of those numbers seem to be excessive.
Why coolant is lifetime fill? Lifetime = 100k? -ray Quote:

I personally think life time fluids are a sham so I am going to do my coolant this year.
