BMW Titan diff oil level

[slap_ed]

I'm sure I've read somewhere that the BMW Titan diff oil level should not be up to the level of the filling hole and should be a certain distance below. Anybody building new kits with information on the diff oil level?

Cheers

I’ve always run mine with oil up to the level hole and never had an issue.

There's some very interesting discussion in the archives but it's scattered across multiple threads, includes:

• Which backplate?
• Which filling hole?
• Workshop Notice 542.

Thanks both. I have tried to search the archives but nothing mentioned the oil level other than letting it dribble out of the filler hole. I’ve done as you’ve mentioned and filled it to this level which was the default option. I thought I’d Read somewhere to fill it about 10mm below this level due to excess pressure and weeping past the seals.

Have you already checked the threads linked from #3 above?

Thanks Jonathan, I think that was the one I read a while ago but obviously missed it even though you prompted me.
