On my 90 535i, 5spd, 107K miles with LSD, I have used either Redline or Royal Purple in my car. Redline MTL in my trans and 75W90 in the rear end is basically the standard. However, I recently tried Royal Purple Sychromax in the tranny and Max-Gear in the rear end, and have less than 10K miles on it.Originally Posted by Rory525
Note - I have heard Brett Anderson state that some BMWs he's seen do NOT like synthetic in their tranny and have switched back to regular trans oil. I say give Redline or RP a try and see how it works.
