Interval oil changes are often recommended for differentials to ensure long-term reliability and maximum wear prevention. Fresh oil will prevent excess wear and gear damage, maintaining smoother operation.
Check your owner's manual to determine when it is best to flush your differential and what type and weight fluid to use when re-filling your system.
This 75w140 weight oil's multi-viscosity are perfect for ensuring protection in all climates and its synthetic composition allows for smoother operation even under the most demanding conditions.

If there was a Top 5 list of things to do on the E46 M3, a shorter gears would be in the top two... The gearing used to be overlooked when planning modifications but the 3.91 and 4.10 gears are now one of our biggest selling upgrades for the E46 M3! With a rear end gear upgrade you get the effects of adding horsepower but without adding any more stress to the engine or drivetrain. The R&P acts as a torque multiplier, getting you into the power band sooner in each gear. It's one of the best areas to get return from your modification spending. The shorter (numerically higher) rear end gears will give you better acceleration in all gears at any speed with few downsides. Want to make your car faster off the line or out of corners? Or avoid a downshift to pass on the highway? This is what you need. This 4.10 is the latest version from BMW Motorsport - shot peened and hardend for increased strength. The R&P can be installed on its own but for cars that have more than 60,000 miles it would be a better idea to rebuild the whole diff. The factory viscous limited slip units have a typical lifespan of 50-70,000 miles. We offer diff rebuilding with 4.10 or other gear options and you get a fully-rebuilt and serviced limited slip unit at the same time. Click here for our diff rebuild options.
4.10 Gearing Example: 2004 M3, 6-speed manual, 275/35-19" rear tires
Gear RatioGearSpeedRPM
40 MPH in 4th
3.62 4th 40mph 2,250rpm
4.10 4th 40mph 2,550rpm
70 MPH Cruise
3.62 6th 70mph 2,650rpm
4.10 6th 70mph 3,000rpm
5th Gear Speed at Redline
3.62 5th 175mph 8,000rpm
4.10 5th 154mph 8,000rpm
Why 5th? Because 6th does not have the mechanical advantage to get past wind resistance at these speeds - it is more of a cruise/overdrive gear. Using 5th for comparison purposes is much more relevant than having to take into account wind direction, resistance, grade, elevation, tire sizing, etc. These numbers are for comparisons among gear ratios only, not to determine what your M3 will top out at.
