Liqui Moly GL3+ 75w-80 Gearbox oil

Anyone using the above for the 6MT on the ///3? I am looking at replacing the factory oil with this. Any feedback or experience using this oil will be much appreciated.

Thank you for that. My only question is that BMW's transmission oil is GL4 75w-80 but the LM's is GL3+ 75w-80. But the LM GL4+ is 75w-90. Just wondering that the difference between GL3 and GL4 is? Thanks for any input.

Ditch that. I'm running Royal Purple Synchromax as I have done in every BMW m trans I have and the shifting is like butter. Very effortless and smooth.

Redline is great use to run it in my old Evo. I used royal purple as well and wasn't impressed. Totally different car, but I've read good reviews about using Redline in the m3.
