Yep, it's in the manual. Make sure it gets done. Should be done every other oil change called by the CBS, which is 30K miles at the most.

But the dealer replaced the diff fluid for free, even though it wasn't in the manual. |

Both are supposed to be replaced every other oil change, as Quality_Sound noted. Read it for yourself. I'm going to do my own maintenance, but I'm surprised your dealer is balking at that. They get paid by BMW. And it's not that expensive to replace tranny fluid on 6MTs; it's only 2 quarts, at about $15 a pop. Actually, 'official' amounts are 1.78 qts for the tranny, and 1.2 qts for the differential. Maybe they're confusing 6MT with DCT, which is pretty darn expensive indeed. |

My dealer would not change the manual trans fluid at 30k. They were steadfast that they will only do what is called for from the "key reader". Doesn't matter what the manual says. WTF?? He showed me the screen, and it definitley didn't have the manual trans fluid on it. I had an issue similar this when I had the 1500 mile service done. The manual calls for the air filter to be changed, and they wouldn't do it because the "key reader" didn't call for it. I think changing the air filter at 1500 miles is a waste, but it is in the manual.
They did change a host of other things: diff fluid, oil & filter, air filter, spark plugs, brake fluid, and a couple other things I can't remember. |

Every other is "change-skip-change". $15? a pop. My 5 liter jug of tranny fluid was almost $180 IIRC. Diff fluid was close to that since you need 3 .5liter bottles to get to the 1.1liters needed. I got my fluids at BAV. If you have a source for $15 tanny fluid hook a brother up!!! |

I'm at 78,200KM (In Canada) and warranty up at 80,000. They want $3500 to extend another 80,000. I can't decide what to do either and needs to be decided in a week or two before I hit 80,000.

That's basically the premium you pay for CPO.
The very first time you need a something repaired in the vanos, that premium will be paid for. I think I had something like $12k worth of extended warranty service done on my RS6. And nothing major broke. $3300 is a good deal. |

~46k miles. It's 2008 M3 6MT coupe. Had no problems at all,but short time ago changed front bushings. And want to do the same with rear - Car fells like new again.
It's not becouse they went out,but it was like renew of suspension. There in Lithuania roads are not so perfect+ ride on coilovers, so.. I drive quite hard - so diff,clutch, engine,gear box are great |

Anyone have a great relationship with their dealer that may want to approach them for a group buy on the extended warranty? Not the extended service (although we could try for both) I would be in if the price was right. But for about $8k for both plans I kind of feel like taking my chances or selling the car when it gets close to the end of warranty.
