Hi!
I own a 2001 z3 3.0i , manual gear.
I'm about to change my gearbox oil and I can't find any clue regarding the amount of oil should be refill.
I would thank you for any help.

Any reputable store should be able to tell you the correct grade and amount you need to refill a Z3 gearbox. BUT, make sure that you can remove the filler/level plug BEFORE you drain the oil out of the gearbox OR the Diff. If not search for Opie Oils on here and ask the question.

Tony.

ps. Welcome from me near Lincoln, UK.

You'll need to order 2 litres, and would expect to use between 1.2 and 1.5 litres on average. All depends on how much you manage to get out really, but 2 litres will see you good.
