Dear all

I have a new 2018 M3W since one year and have drive around 8500 km. I live in North of France and use if for meandering on the coast border and for driving in Belgium cheers

The bevel box was yealing a lot at 60 /80 km/h and I bought the bevel box vent from morgan custom net. Oil contend switched from 400 ml to around 830 ml and the sound decreased a lot ( Have tested it for 500 km, incredible, my hear were quiet) . No noise up to 80 /100 km /h, and lower sound.

I have have modified to system to be able to fill it directly from my rear car boot. Filling is tricky and I heated the W 140 : pb of air that has to go out . Just some patience needed, It takes 30-60 min. Slow flow of heated oil ( W140 has a high viscosity @ 15°C ).

Make me think that bevel box noise is more linked to the level of filling than of the quality of oil . Anyway the ride is now quieter :-) smile

Hope it will help you to go through this issue

Note : Have also set up the oil cooler and the ventilator temporisation for summer - all fits and run perfectly . I m very happy with the reliabiliy of the M3W smile

With warm regards from France smile
