Hi guys, i need some help. I would change my gearbox oil on my LCI E90 20i N43B20 (VIN: A392562)with manual transmission. I cant find exactly what amount of fluid i need in the gearbox. Anyone can help me?

Does your car have a dipstick to check the transmission fluid?

Much as i know, the manual has no. I found an old post on this forum. They said 1.6L i need. Can be only 1.6L?

You need 2 liters. It takes a little less than 2 liters.

Thank you! The bmw shop recommend this for me. Original BMW Oil for manual transmission MTF LT-3 1L (83222339221) is it good?

My manual transmission has 400,000 miles on it with 100,000-mile oil changes. I've only used MTF LT-3. It's damned good oil IMO.

Do the 320i's in the EU have the same ZF gearbox as 3.0L E90s in the US though? Just curious honestly because I have seen weird part discrepancies with E90s made for other regions.

It takes a little less than 2 liters. __________________ A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
