I used Liqui Moly 2048 in the center section as the BMW branded fluid is impossible to find and there is nothing special about it anyway. For the left and right chambers, use genuine Castrol SAF carbon mod. This is used by a lot of different car makers and sold in their branded bottles. I found the AC Delco branded bottles to be the least expensive. Look for AC Delco 92184900 which is a Holden part number.

Make sure you have a way to measure the fluid you are putting in, this is a good option

To reset the diff in ISTA, you need to run the "QMVH Oil Change" service function.
Thanks for the help.

The more I look at this the more confused I get. Lol.

I will be near a dealership around Christmas and might just have them do it. What ever happened to the days of pulling the drain plug and filling it up til fluid came out of the fill hole?

Here are the directions I found and the fluid I ordered:
