Hello. So i bought my first BMW week ago, 335i F30 2012 225kw RWD and i have been thinking of changing the differential fluid but i dont have any clue what kind of differential i have. Been googling about BMW differentials and lot of them have eLSD and i think that electronic diff doesnt need that differential fluid additive that normal LSD need or am i wrong? Have checked the owners manuals etc but there wasnt any info.

Sorry if this a stupid question, im not a car guy. my last car was 90s Toyota.

It's a normal open differential.

Put your VIN into the Realoem website and you can look up the differential part number and the fluid should be right there in the diagram. The differential will vary depending on whether you have an automatic or manual transmission so read the description carefully. They usually have different final drive ratios.

Like mentioned it is open diff (non-LSD), a quality 75w85 or 75w90 gear oil is adequate
