I need to re-torque my fill and drain bolts this weekend.. I gave them 10 more lbs/ft past weekend... putting any BMW on jackstands is b*tch.

which one do you prefer? Ferodo or Axxis... I was thinking to pick up Ferodo for autox. Have you changed your tranny fluid yet? if you have, what did you use?

Ferodo for the front, Axxis for the rear. Since I'm using them for both street and track use, I went with Axxis on the rear since Ferodo consolidated all their rear shapes to be the same and hence don't fit well and will rattle over bumps when the brakes aren't being applied (ok for track but annoying for street...).

Have not yet changed tranny fluid, would have to do some research to figure out just what to use I would assume RedLine or RoyalPurple (but that is a very uneducated guess)

I put D4 ATF in both my cars.. my 06 330i definitely feels a lot more smoother.. but on the M roady I couldn't tell if it is any better.

You apparently have no idea what you are talking about. Why don't you lerk a bit more before making stupid posts. A lot of people on here went from the RFTs to UHPs and said it was a good change.

If it is dead, I could start one, but I doubt it could match the epicness that this thread has/d.

Interested in one guy since i started this thread. We shall see, but I'm getting a teensy bit tired of being patient.

I remember when my daughter was little, i couldn't leave the room, or she would follow....reminds me of the forum. Lol!! Love you all.
