This is interesting, and if so does it only apply to JHB or for us down in CPT as well?

Not sure what confirmation you need when ZF themselves confirmed it? Either way good deal from them.

Lol, I haven't come across it anywhere else and the lady at ZF who told me about it asked me for a "membership number" to claim the 10%
I assumed it meant username so hence why I asked if anybody got the 10% discount?

Got this quote on my G01 20d when enquired recently:
1. ZF gearbox service R7461 (incl VAT). Includes 10L of Life Guard 8 Oil, a new filter kit , a new filter the labor and all the bolts. However, they said that they first check whether a service is possible first by inspection.
2. Transfer case service is R450 (excl VAT). Includes oil and labour.
3. Differential service is R500 (excl VAT) for labour on front and rear. Customer to source diff oil from BMW.
They said it may take 2-3 hours for the services.

I still see this as not a bad price, given that the going rate was around R6900 in 2019.
Even the diff and Transfer case pricing is pretty good too.
Discounts are great but given that we are spending money on something that will last another 100k mileage and a very important part of the car, I would rather save up and get it done.

Their contact number is 011 457 0089.
Just need to find a gap in my calendar to book the car in.

If you can wait for the car, they also let you chill there. I worked there the last time and waited for the car while it got done.
They have a decent waiting room and desk and chairs to use so its comfy enough.

This is interesting, I reached out to ZF Germiston and Alliyah Ismail told me that they are not doing diff services as they do not "have the machine" when I asked if they could change the diff oil.
He did confirm a 10% discount for BMW Fanatic members at least.

I contacted them yesterday and they didn't mention that. I assume they had the machine at that time?...

I reached out on the 27th of March, so really not long ago. So 2 weeks ago. My query was for a 530d (F series), however from my research that diff is used in multiple other BMW's as well.
Please let us know how it goes when you take your vehicle in.

I called Alliyah now to make a booking for 30 April.
She said that they can do Transfer Case, Front Diff, Rear Diff and gearbox services in one booking of 2-3 hours
All oils will be included, apart from the Front and Rear diff oils which I need to source from BMW.
I don't know if my car being xDrive and G01 had anything to do with them being able to do the diffs service?
When I called BMW, they said that they only change TC and Diff oils after the TC or Diff has been repaired or is leaking. They do not change oils as a preventative measure. This is strange because according to BMW USA, they recommend changing these oils (though not the ZF box oil) at certain mileages....
