Fluid change time

328 coupe Brakes done; now for the P/S, Diff, and Manual Transmission. The P/S is no problem, one can of Pentosin is more than enough. I suspect the Trans still takes about 1.5 - 1.6 quarts. But this is my first experience with a BMW diff that doesn't have a drain plug. It allegedly has less capacity than the older E39/46 diff. Anyone know the capacity?

From the diff thread going on in DIY Forum right now it seems to be 1.0-1.2 for most folks. Probably depends how well you get the old stuff pumped out.

I'm getting read to do this and MTF within the next 60 days as well.
