First of all, thank you for all your answers on my questions a week ago. We
just bought a '98 M3 4-dr. 5-speed w/39K miles. The car has been always
maintained my BMW dealer. Now, to the questions:
BMW Manual & Bentley Manual (780 pages) states that oils in transmission &
in differential do not need to be changed. ??? Is it true? Do you guys
change it after say, 50K miles or so?
Where to buy a good oil filter element? Which is good brand, Bosch, etc.?
Do I really need to buy a new O-ring for the oil filter housing & a new
washer for the drain plug every time I change the oil?
I've been told that the front brake pads are on the thin side (haven't had
time to check it myself). What are good pads for the street? I do like the
bite of the stock pads on M3. Will Portfield R4S be too aggresive? My wife
has all R4S on her Integra GSR & she likes them (they dust like crazy!) M3
won't see as much AutoX as our regular cars, Civic & Integra.
Sorry to sound so stupid but I'm being very careful w/BMW. I've done a few
Honda engine swaps, suspension mods, brakes mods by myself but the Beemer kinda
scares me a little...
I'd greatly appreciate your help!
