Has anyone else noticed that there's a 1200 mile service requirement on the M3? Which either requires or at least some owners are changing their gear oil. <br> <br> Can anyone confirm? Also, for the C32, is it the standard FSS routine? No additional services required?<br> <br> thanks!

Yes the new E46 M3 does have the first 1200 miles service which only includes changing the transmission and differential lube. Also the Engine management computer and engine oil level are checked as well. <br> <br> Engine oil is not replaced nor changed till 15,000 miles according to BMW.

  3. Very Nice Cheap 2002 C32 - Bad Transmission

    W203 C32 AMG, C55 AMG
    So I owned this 2002 C32 for about 12 years and sold it to a co-worker about 3 years ago and a few weeks ago the transmission failed due to a failed radiator - coolant in the trans. He is choosing not to repair it and would like to sell it as is, and I said I'd try and help. I'd buy it back...

  6. 2003 C32 AMG - Orion Blue, sell or keep?

    W203 C32 AMG, C55 AMG
    Hello, I'm the proud owner of a 2003 C32 AMG Orion Blue color with 118k miles on it, very well kept interior and mechanically.
