That's what my buddy who's a tech at BMW told me. The TC needs a reset, but he said it was just a "reset counter" for my 2012.

Found the factory diff fluid, $50 for 3 half liter containers. Do you recall how much fluid went into each diff?

Might as well try that. The front fluid took one liter, I didn't do the back diff.

Thanks, I'll order 3 liters.

Just finished chatting with my buddy. He said, "adaptions need to be reset to factory settings for the new fluid/wear/driving profile."

Can you please ask him if I really have to take it to the dealer.

Can you use INPA to reset it?
