Russ who rebuilds the gearboxes for Moseleys told me to use BMW stuff
from the dealers or Total BV, DONT use any synthetic oils or it will wear

Later models run on ATF! If you've a 'sticky' change then try 1/2 & 1/2 - bit noisier, but a lot slicker movement!!
Cats know your every thought.

But don't care.

Run ATF in the track car, no problems to date  and makes the shifts smoother.
