You make a good point. I will check my manual and have it with me when I get my oil changed.
No matter what I will insist the the transmission oil be changed even if I have to pay for it. As a mechanical engineer I know there be foreign particles small burrs etc in the oil if even in micro format that over time will harm the transmission so I like that to be flushed out and recharged with fresh oil.
This question is for the Canadian M3 drivers ...
I don't know why there should be a difference between a Canadian and a US delivered car ...
US M3 drivers feel free to comment if you like
I read in this forum that after 1200 miles break in (2000 KM) mark in Canada the oil will be changed. What I read was Engine Oil, Transmission Oil and Differential Oil.
When I asked my SA what will be changed when I have 2000 KM on the odometer he said "Only the Engine Oil"
So the question I have what oil was changed on your cars after the break in period was completed.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,

I am back in Canada for the holidays and stopped by my Canadian BMW dealer to discuss the issues on my diplomatic delivery.
While I was there, I asked the service manager and two sales guys what is in the 2000 km service. They said oil, transmission fluid and differential fluid. I had the same answer from the SA in Switzerland who will be taking the car in for the service in January.
