LSD oil! Dunno what it's called, but go to your BMW dealer with a bottle & ask em to fill it up... Not cheap though!

It's not that bad! Twenty something quid for the 2L you need...

Comma do a similar LSD oil that's a lot cheaper if you're really on a budget...

The proper LSD oil is called Castrol SAF-XJ and is available from the dealers. They keep it in bulk so bring your own container. It costs about 25 euro per litre.

1L required for a small casing diff, close to 2L required for the large casing diff. 1.7L quoted above I guess is for large casing diff.
