Cheapest source for E46 M3 Differential fluid

[mat205125]

Evening all,

If the worst comes to the worst, I'll cough up the main dealers ransom for a supply of the differential fluid, and I do appreciate that running the correct fluid is essential for the diff to function correctly ...... HOWEVER.....

Does anyone know of an outlet for this fluid at a slightly more acceptable rate than BMW's?

At the dealers they charge roughly £100 for the correct amount of fluid. At the Indy I had my rear diff oil replaced at just over £85. Worth ringing round.

How much?????

For 1.3 litres of Castrol SAF-XJ!

It is £15/litre at Opies.

Yes, but does that have the fm booster added?

No, but if you really think that stuff is necessary, and cannot live the slow speed noise of a LSD doing what it was designed to do then that can be had from Opies for £13.
