Engine turns over but won't stay on. I also want to install an MMI from Bimmer tech. I submitted a request for help on ther Instagram advertisement. Mike responded immediately and said they could help me in all aspects of my BMW engine issues and tech installs. He scheduled a tow truck pickup immediately in the same day and now my BMW is on the way to their shop. I post updates of my experience as they diagnose and service my car.

FAQs: Differential Service
Most manufacturers recommend changing differential fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. However, this can vary based on your vehicle and driving habits. We can provide a specific recommendation during your service visit.
Front differential service focuses on the differential in front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicles, while rear differential service addresses the rear differential in rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicles. The basic process is similar, but the specifics can vary based on your vehicle’s design.
A complete differential rebuild usually takes 1-2 days, depending on the complexity of your vehicle’s system and parts availability. We provide a more accurate timeline after our initial inspection.
Absolutely. Our technicians are specialized to work on a wide range of vehicles, especially with high-end exotic and luxury cars. We have experience with advanced differential systems and use manufacturer-approved fluids and parts.
