Well...
NoTempoLimitN54 I was at my local BMW Zentrum today. I found out which oils your car needs and how much!
Drum roll please...
BMW AG says your 335i uses
MTF-LT-3 for the manual transmission. Originally the car came with MTF-LT-2, but BMW AG is showing LT-3 as the latest fluid.
I asked why my 135i shows LT-3 and then LT-4. And why the 1er M Coupe` aka
1M uses LT-5 - but my guys at the shop did not know why. I also asked them about LT-6 and they never heard of that fluid. Weird.
BMW NA does not sell the LT-3 oil in one liter bottles, only in Germany do they sell those. BMW NA only sells the LT-3 oil in a 5L jug, bmw part number #83227533818
I did not ask what the price is, but it is pricey from what I remember. Over 130 euros I think. I seem to remember Bav Auto also sells this oil. Or maybe try Tischer or United BMW for what they would charge you.
So... go ahead and use the
LT-3 fluid in your trans. Btw your manual trans will need
1.6L of oil.
BMW AG says for your diff,
Castrol SAF-XO is the correct oil. 75w90 grade. The diff takes just under 2.0L of oil.
here are some documents for you...
