hello, can you tell me what oil put in the gearbox thank you (sae 80 or 75w80 thank you)
Re: Oil
See the attached thread. The BMW recommendation is Castrol SHC 630 which is difficult to source and very expensive. Redline MTL 75W-80 GL4 is a widely used alternative.

Re: Oil
Hi Sam,
I've changed my gearbox oil this week ready for the Z1 tour. I spoke to a BMW dealer and they couldn't tell me which oil so they contacted BMW technical and they couldn't tell me either, so I have gone with Mobil Syntrans B 75w (1.25 L) apparently it's made for BMW's. I'm also replacing the diff oil with Mobil Syntrax 75w-90 (1.7 L). Because of the awkward location of the gearbox filler nut I ran a tube from above the engine and poured in the oil that way. The diff is also in an awkward position so I took off the rear silencer. The torque settings for the gearbox is 50Nm and the Diff is 60Nm. Good luck.
