Additional Notes

  • The BMW X3 G01/F97 (EU) transfer case fluid capacity is 0.7 liter across all three listed configurations, covering the X3 M40d (240 kW) from 2018 onward and the X3 M40d Mild-Hybrid (250 kW) from 2021 onward.
  • A 0.7 liter transfer case capacity is a relatively small fill volume, consistent with compact transfer box units designed for all-wheel-drive distribution rather than heavy-duty off-road applications.
  • All three configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 0.7 liter fill applies under standard operating conditions rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The X3 M40d (240 kW) appears under two separate entries, one covering 2018-2019 and another starting from 2019, both sharing the identical 0.7 liter transfer case capacity, indicating no change in fill volume across that production boundary.
  • The introduction of the Mild-Hybrid powertrain in the X3 M40d (250 kW) from 2021 onward did not alter the transfer case fluid capacity, which remains at 0.7 liter, the same figure as the non-hybrid M40d variants.
