+1 on Redline for both tranny and diff. I've run them for a couple years in a track car and they're bulletproof.

Oh, you'd know!

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - an e46fanatic
According to the most recent Mike Miller old school maintenance guide he calls for Redline MTL in any bmw manual transmission. He USED to recommend the mix of atf fluid and MTL if you lived in an area that is colder for longer but didn't see that in the recent one, just MTL.
Personally, I've had absolutely no issues with just MTL in a temperate environment even in bitter cold we've had in VA. But if I lived farther north it certainly can't hurt to do the mix. But I don't think it's really an issue whichever way you go it'll be better than before!

Funny this was bumped because I'm doing a tranny and diff fluid change tomorrow. I think the torque specs on the drain and fill plugs that the OP posted are wrong though. According to this and this it's supposed to be 48 ft-lb.
Also I have new seal rings (#07-11-9-963-355) for the diff plugs but can someone help me out with a part number for the new seal rings/crush washers I need for the tranny?
