BMW E46 M3 Differential Fluid Replacement DIY (2001-2006)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
►The BMW E46 M3's differential is constantly working hard to turn the torque and horsepower from the S54 engine into tire-smoking forward motion. Special oil keeps the gears and bearings inside the differential cool and lubricated, but its effectiveness will wear over time. Replacing the fluid in your E46 M3 differential is essential to ensuring your drivetrain's health. Fluid changes should happen anywhere between every 20,000 and 50,000 miles; drivers with more track sessions and aggressive driving should change their fluid at the shorter interval.
Watch along as Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, tackles a differential fluid change on this BMW E46 M3.

Super useful and professionally-made video, thanks!
Great explanation and nice clear footage
Awesome!
These E46 videos are so good. Thanks for posting these! I can't find the link for the diff seal video you mentioned. I have to do that as well, and could use a high quality video. :(
Just got my new DKM clutch installed today.

Certainly needed a good clean afterward😅
Super easy to do. I assume the residue was cleaned up after the video was done 🤣

one would need more than "a couple of jack stands" to ensure the car is level at home, dude. did you know it takes 4 jack stand to lift the car to a level plane? a couple of jack stands is just not safe, and you should not be recommending this to level the car. are you sure you are using the right word? did you mean quickjacks? otherwise, good content. you are awesome

Hi Jotighe, great note! That was more of a general term than anything. At a minimum, you need at least four jack stands to do this at home, the more the merrier when it comes to safety.
