Original BMW G4 Hypoid Axle Oil 0.5 L for BMW 3 Series, 8 Series, M5, M8, X3–X7, Z4, and Alpina (2018–2025)

Packed in a 0.5 L bottle, Original BMW G4 hypoid axle oil is the factory gear oil for the rear differential in late-model BMWs. Those models run from the G20 3 Series and G14, G15, and G16 8 Series to the F90 M5, the X3 through X7, and the G29 Z4. Hypoid gear oil lubricates the ring and pinion inside a differential, where the offset mesh of hypoid gears puts heavy sliding load on the gear teeth. BMW Group marks the oil as an EU product, and this bottle is made in Germany. Each bottle weighs 430 g (0.9 lb), and BMW introduced the part in June 2016.

Original BMW Parts are backed by a 24-month parts warranty.

One specification covers an unusually wide spread of engines and chassis here. BMW's parts data applies this G4 oil to B46, B48, and B58 powered models, including the 330i, M340i, 840i, X3 M40i, X4 M40i, X5 xDrive40i, X6 xDrive40i, and Z4. It also covers the N63 in the M850i xDrive, X5 xDrive50i and M50i, X6 M50i, and X7. The S58 in the F97 X3 M and F98 X4 M uses it too, along with the S63 in the F90 M5 and the F91, F92, and F93 M8. That breadth means a single bottle part number serves both the four-door G20 and the high-output M cars.
