First service M340i

I had M240 before which I traded in for a new M340 last week. When I bought M240 I did some research on when should you do the first oil change etc. And most people said it's not a "true M" car so no need but I still did my first oil change after 1200 and all subsequent oil changes are 5k miles. Trust me it served me well for 46k miles before I let her go last week. Never had a single issue.

I am planning to do the same for my M340i. Question is regarding the M Sport differential fluid flush. It's the same differential in "real M" cars. And I am planning to do it after 1200 miles as recommended for other M cars.
Did anyone got this service done after 1200 miles. And how much did it cost. Appreciate if you could share thoughts/experience.

I'm with you on the oil change at 1200 miles. I just did mine and I was shocked at the amount of tiny metal flakes in the oil. No way I would go 10k. I don't plan on tracking my 340i so I'm not worried about the diff fluid.
