Original BMW G3 Hypoid Axle Oil, 0.5 L, for 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 Series, i3, X1–X7, XM, and Z4 (2014–2025)

BMW's G3 hypoid axle oil is the factory differential lubricant sold in a 0.5-liter container, and BMW dealers use it to service open, non-locking rear differentials on models from the 330i and 530i to the X5, X7, and Z4 sDrive30i. BMW Group produces it in the EU, and this container is made in Germany. A full bottle weighs 430 grams. BMW's parts data shows this number in production since March 2017. Hypoid gear oil is formulated for the sliding contact between the offset pinion and ring gear inside a differential, and that is the job this oil does.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

The G3 designation is BMW's own label for this grade, and one part number covers a remarkably wide range of axles. BMW applies it from the compact F44 2 Series Gran Coupe to the G07 X7 and G29 Z4, including the G20 3 Series, G30 and G31 5 Series, G32 6 Series Gran Turismo, G11 and G12 7 Series, G14, G15, and G16 8 Series, F48 X1, F39 X2, G01 X3, G02 X4, F15 and G05 X5, and F16 and G06 X6. B46, B48, and B58 gasoline engines, N63 engines, and B47 and B57 diesels all appear in BMW's application data for it.
