my local dealer said 0w-30 so i've got that fully synth Fuchs! it's like piss, but so was the stuff that came out

Omi do you know how much?! 5 litres but it to the top of the dipstick mark but i'd like to know to be sure!

I use 10/40 semi in mine, capacity of an E34 sump is something like 6.75 litres

Z3 sump doesn't look that big, best top up if so!

Quickest airfilter change know to man on these i found today far too easy

Dan do you have any M52 rods 135mm? and are they any lighter than M50 ones?!

March asked the other day, I think I caught a glimpse of some yesterday in a pile of 24v parts, im quite certain they are lighter than M50 rods, will check it out Monday

Will M54 ones be lighter again do we think? and R6 ones even lighter?! thats if they are 135mm that is

Theres nothing really in it between M50/M20 ones! M50's slightly lighter but not by alot

M54 rods are the same part as M52.
