I've been using Redline oils in my 135i for years now. I have a manual trans so I have been using RL's ATF D4 in my manual trans and their 75w140 gear oil in my diff. I now am using Redline's MTL in my manual trans. I recently saw this cool video on RL...

I am a firm believer in changing ALL the fluids in my car. I first changed my diff oil at 28K kms and the diff oil was really dark and nasty. I had to use a suction pump to remove the oil oil. I first used BMW Castrol in my diff and later have changed over to Redline gear oil.

Not a whole lot of guys have changed their DCT fluid on 1Addicts. I think most guys with an e9x M3 just use the factory DCT fluid from ZF/BMW. From what I've read the trans is the same unit except for the internal valve body from M3 to 1er dct.


Another good source for automatic fluids and parts is The California Transmission Supply Company...
