Gearbox / diff oil
Both plugs freed up nicely - 20 mins to change the diff oil plus Β£36 for the actual oil. Indy wanted to charge me Β£170

It does. That sets the preload.
You can mark it and put it back so I'm told.

Hello Simon 3.2M, did you use the same Castrol 75w 140 grade for gearbox and the diff?

Gearbox - Redline MTL 70w-80 GL4 (1.7 litres)
Differential - Castrol Syntrax LSD 75W 140 (1.2 litres)"
Never heard of Redline ?? Also , my indy was looking online and everything was pointing toward ATF ..?? I haven't checked with BMW yet but may have to.. they treat me well for some unknown reason, it could be because they like my Interlagos blue M (they don't see too many on Vancouver Island , either that or they think I will trade in my Porker for a new BMW, either way if they want to give me a discount I'll gladly take it )
Anything else I should know about ? ... I do live on an island in the Pacific and good car stuff is not that plentiful here.

If you donβt want to use aftermarket fluids then just use Genuine BMW fluids instead.
