    Talking Change it between 30 to 60k (m)

    depending how you drive.
    If you autocross, change sooner, your rear end will stay cooler longer and wear less.
    If you daily drive, lean towards the 60k.

    Either way, change it,...

    Wanted to change my tranny fluid which is also lifetime (yea right) fluid. He told me that if the tranny or rear fluid is changed to anything but BMW fluid the warranty is voided. Just a heads up. But then again, if anything ever happens after you change the fluid, you can always change it back.
