Front/Rear: Hypoid Axle Oil G1 (BOT448) BMW Part No: 83 22 2 295 532 This oil was assigned as the standard oil from 2011 as the previous oil was out of production.

Front capacity = 0.6L for a change, 0.7L if new fill.

Rear capacity = 0.85L

Looks to be a 75W 85 weight fluid.

The manual says “no additives. Ever. You’ve been told”.
