Couple of interesting (to me at least!) observations on a couple of points raised in this thread;

Firstly - did anyone else notice that the back of the little cooling duct plug pieces had 'F90' embossed in the moulding? I know there are many little (and not so llittle) bits and bobs shared across models/model ranges, but interesting to see a trivial M5 specific part on the G8x!

Also on the snippet someone posted about the transfer case & its oil, there's a warning about ensuring the same tread wear and tyre/tire manufacturer etc.

If any of you watch the 'Car Wizard' channel on YT, you might have seen he did a recent episode on a Jeep (Cherokee IIRC) with a blown transmission/transfer box. Apparently this had been caused by mixed tyres triggering a false reading on slip sensors, which in turn left the box permanently engaged and caused it to fail.
