Castrol SAF-XO 75w-90 BMW part # 83-22-0-002-094 @ $15.03 ($13.53 with BMWCCA discount) per HALF liter.
Bring your own clean containers, dealer has them in 50 gallon container. My differential uses about 1.6 liters per service.
Don't forget to get the screw plug with O-ring, PN 33-11-7-525-064 $4.87 ea ($4.38 w/ discount).
