Lifetime all as far as BMW are concerned is 100K but you have to put a gun to their heads to get them to admit it !!!!! No such thing as lifetime oil
That's what I find annoying about BMW, saying things are 'lifetime', and then saying off-the-record something else...it really confuses because there is no true std.

Re diff fluid, did you mean 50K miles or kms?
