Additional Notes

  • The BMW 4 Series F32/F82 440i xDrive front differential carries a capacity of 0.6 liter under normal use conditions, a relatively modest fill volume consistent with compact front axle differential housings found in all-wheel-drive configurations.
  • The M4 rear differential with differential lock holds a capacity of 1 liter across all listed model year ranges, a figure that reflects a service fill level rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill quantity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the M4 rear differential with differential lock carries a 50,000-mile change interval, applying consistently across the 2014-2015, 2015-2019, and 2019-2020 model year groupings.
  • The 2019-2020 M4 rear differential with differential lock includes a separate first-change-only interval of 1,200 miles, a break-in service designed to flush metal particles generated during initial component wear-in, alongside the same 1-liter capacity as the normal service fill.
  • The M4 GTS covering 2015-2016 shares the same rear differential specifications as the standard M4 variants, with a 1-liter capacity and a 50,000-mile change interval under normal use conditions.
  • The 50,000-mile service interval specified for the M4 rear differential with differential lock is consistent across every listed M4 configuration, from the earliest 2014-2015 entry through the 2019-2020 range, indicating no variation in the normal-use drain interval across those model years.
