Just thought I would share my thoughts on the leather shift boot and parking brake boot with the M colour cross stitching I just purchased from RedlineGoods. I couldn’t be happier! I honestly thought it was going to be a bit tacky or ugly but its perfectly subtle, the threads are small and nice...

Hi all, my first post here. I bought a 2004 325xi Touring about a month ago, and have read hundreds of useful posts here. Anyway, I dropped the pan on the GM tranny, replaced filter and gasket and refilled with Redline D4. I know that stuff smells bad, have been using it for years in my VW...

Hey everyone. Earlier today I was driving to work and was running a little behind schedule. I was driving quite spiritedly and stomped on the gas. It climbed up to 6,800 RMP but it kept going up! I immediately moved it to manual mode and shifted up into 2nd, but the tach did reach a little over...

Hi guys, I've been thinking about changing the transmission oil simply because I feel like if I did it could slightly improve shifting. Currently when I shift it feels somewhat stiff and jerky especially from 1st to 2nd gear. I've read that most e46 manual transmissions feel the same but that...

New Edit I hate digging up old threads, but as I am the OP, I guess I'll let it slide :hi: I'm finally getting around to changing out the manual transmission fluid and can't find the capacity ANYWHERE. Even the owner's manual doesn't list the capacity as it says it's a "Lifetime Fluid." I know...

2000 323i 5speed 170,000km Today I did spark plugs (NGK) and Diff Fluid (Redline) and threw in a magnaflow resonator. Here is an album http://imgur.com/a/GsEBT The Diff Fluid: I drained the fluid, only about 1 liter came out, there was no metal shavings, but the fluid was dark. It was still...

I'm debating on a few diff scenarios for what I should put in to my 5spd. (mixes are 50/50 - 1qt each) Scenario 1) Redline 75w90ns + MTL Scenario 2) Redline MTL only (likely thicker than i would prefer) Scenario 3) Redline D4-ATF + 75w140ns (what UUC recommends) Scenario A) Motul 75w140 + ATF...

Hello I drive a 2001 BMW 330ci, and I absolutely love it. I have heard from various sources that the engines on these cars, if well maintained are pretty much bullet proof. I was involved in a little car race last night, and I was wondering if reving the engine to show off is bad for the engine...

Ok Fellow Fanatics... Can we get a poll started as to what Fluid works best for these trannys.. Redline / MTF-LT2 Royal Purple / Syncromax BMW OE / Castrol MTF-LT2

...What is the cheapest way to increase your redline? I'm from Australia, so the Shark is not an option as it does not work for Euro-spec cars.
