I wonder if the new M240i's have a drain hole in the new M-Diff.

I watched the mechanic do this with my car the last time it was done. Believe it or not, he spent 20 minutes sucking-out the used fluid. Basically, once he'd gotten most of the fluid out, he then moved the tube he was using to get the fluid out around in a variety of ways to try and get the rest of it out. And he did get a fair amount more used fluid out of the diff using this method. He certainly had more patience than I would have had if I'd been doing it.

I wonder why there's no drain plug on our diffs.
