Hi, I want to change the tranny oil on my z4m. does anyone know which oil I need to use and I also heard that I should replace the one on my differential, can someone tell me which one to use and what else I should change on the car. Any filters or stuff like that. thanks!

Buy a TIS DVD on EBay and you'll get the official version.

what Jim said, Ron has posted some underneath pics of his Z4M on bimmerfest.
I just did the change myself, I used Motul 300 competition gear oil, the color is gold. You'll need two buy two bottles. |

Make sure you check with the manufacturer if their oil is rated for the car.
Not all oils are created equal, needless to say. I am using Redline D4ATF without problems, and MUCH smoother shifting. I needed a little over 2 bottles.

Change the oil while hot.
Place the car on jackstands so it is level. Loosen the top (fill) plug first. Make sure you have the right tool. Remove the bottom plug, let the oil run out, replace the plug. Use a little pump available at auto parts stores to fill the trans or diff to the level of the fill plug, so the oil just begins to run out. Replace the fill plug. Redline products would be D4 ATF for the trans and 75/140 gear oil for the diff. http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html...=E46M3-REDLINE |

thanks for all the responses guys. My car has 19,000 miles, am I being too cautious and should I wait a little, or should I do it now?

In that case, if the car is never driven on a racetrack, it is too early and I don't think you will gain anything by changing those fluids after so few miles. If it is a track driven car, they should be changed much more frequently. |
