31 50... Check/change front axle differential oil: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive, 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive, 2015 BMW 750i xDrive, 2015 BMW 750Li xDrive, and 2015 BMW 740Li xDrive. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:

If oil is filled up to the lower edge of the oil filler opening, the front axle differential would be overfilled and in rare individual cases oil could emerge from the ventilation opening on the front axle differential.

After draining front axle differential oil or when carrying out the initial filling of a new replacement front axle differential, the transmission must be filled with 600 ml  of oil.

Use only the APPROVED OIL in the front axle differential.

Failure to comply with this requirement will result in serious damage to the front axle differential

NOTE: Only change oil when front axle differential is at normal operating temperature.
