BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Differential
Operation: How to add oil to the differential of my BMW 3 series E46?

Generally the differential oil (depending on the model) should be replaced every 5 or 8 years unless you hear suspicious noises or if you perceive some malfunction during the gearbox, in this case the advice is to replace it immediately. Normally the cost of the liquid is around 50/60 euros, but it depends a lot on the brand you want to buy. To replace it you will first have to drain the old oil by unscrewing the top cap and then the bottom one. Subsequently, after having screwed the bottom cap back on, as shown in the video, you will have to insert the new oil until it starts to pour out. Finally, close the top cap (always with the right torque) and that's it.
