Castrol SAF-XJ is what BMW use and recommend is used, you will need about 1.7 litres IIRC.

Out of interest is the E36 M3 diff as noisy and clattery as the E46 one was? The amount of forum posts about that thing on mtorque was crazy. ------------- http://smg.photobucket.com/user/silverbeastie/media/Milltek/Sig.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  2009 E92 M3 - Milltek |
