Are both pre & postlift coils priced the same? What brand is the coil? Ori?

pre-face lift is RM20/= less. Not usre about the brand, i suspect it is either thailand,taiwan or china.

What axle oil did u use?
Was there any difference felt after replacing it? Your old oil was it dirty? I've got a strong feeling my diff oil has never been replaced b4. It's gotta be pitch black if i ever do it.

I use Castrol SAF-XJ 75W/140(if i am not mistaken...left the bill at home). Actually it is recommended to replace the oil every two years especially if you experience any noise.So i just follow the routine.

I found an article saying the benefit of changing the oil:

1)Excellent high temperature, high load performance
Maximum protection against wear and noise even at continuous high temperatures, loads and speeds

2)Shear stable
Extremely shear stable, ensuring that its excellent properties are retained over very long service periods

3)Reduced operating temperature
Under high loads and severe conditions it can reduce axle temperatures which increase life of gears, bearings and seals

4)Low friction
Improved axle efficiency offering potential fuel economy improvements

Hi Guys,

I'm planning to replace my engine and gearbox mountings on my 03' 525i at the next service. Can anyone tell me if the gearbox needs to be drained to change the mountings?
Just spent almost RM710 flushing out the gearbox...really don't want to waste relatively new oil

Thanks!

Replacement of engine and gearbox mountings quite a simple job for our beemer. No need to drain ATF oil.

This is how the old and new engine mounting looks like. Notice the thinness of the old one compare to the new one.

Just changed the engine and gearbox mountings - and did a software upgrade. Best RM600 I've ever spent. The car is so unbelievably smooth now!
