Project for this weekend

I think I've just about gotten my money's worth out of my (manual) transmission and differential fluids (176K Miles), so I'm going to change them both this weekend. I'm using the Pentosin MTF2, for...

I used ATE Super Blue fluid on my last fluid change. It exceeds DOT 4 requirements, so the wet and dry boiling points should be plenty high for our purposes. I also like that you can get it in blue...

O2 Sensor thoughts?

Anyone with high-mileage experience on BMWs have any thoughts on change interval for O2 sensors? I'm at about 167K miles now and still on the original sensors. No error codes but, on my E39 before...

Gotta give some credit to those engineers at VW! Half the cylinders / displacement, less than half the Horsepower, and it STILL beats my Mercedes M3? Good job guys!
