Did my 1,200 mile service yesterday
Threw my M235i on my rotary lift yesterday and I changed the oils. The engine oil filter had lots of little metal particles and small pieces of blue (sealant) in it. Transmission oil looked okay at first, the stuff at the end of the drain looked a little dark. Differential oil was absolutely nasty in comparison to what was going in. Overall, I am happy I did it and it was worth the $200 in fluids/filters. The manual transmission is still a little notchy (I have done some highway driving so I am not shifting as much, therefore it is probably not fully broken in yet.) However, I did notice a small improvement in the shifts, specifically 1st gear to 2nd gear.
So if you are on the fence about doing it, I would highly suggest it! I'll upload pics and maybe do a little DIY article if anyone is interested.
