"BG Drive Line Service
Operation Description:
One of our trained technicians will use state-of-the-art equipment to: quickly and
effectively remove old, worn out lubricants from manual transmissions, front and rear
differentials, transaxles, and transfer cases; install BG gear oil or additive package that is
required for the vehicle application; and road test your vehicle.
If they are doing all that for $600, that's a pretty good deal. While these aren't too challenging to DIY (except Xfer case, it's a bit of a PITA) but the time saved would be pretty good.

Do they mean BG brand of driveline products found listed here?https://www.bgprod.com/catalog/drive-line/

If so, I would be vary as our BMWs especially the ZF8-speed transmission and xfer case require specific fluid. In addition the automatic transmission R&R would normally include replacing the filter pan. The front and rear diff fluid requirement is simpler. 75w90 GL5 synthetic will be fine. There are many threads here that you can reference.
