I'm leaning with the following, but also looking for any EXPERIENCED input if it's out there:

5 spd MT - BMW MTF-LT3 (BavAuto)
TC - Castrol or Lubro-Moly 75w90
Front and Rear Diff - Castrol or Lubro-Moly 75w90

- M54 Lover

I use Redline 75w90 in my differentials, FWIW. I change it every 30k miles or so in my 5-series. Last change, the stuff coming out looked nearly as good as the stuff coming in... so I guess that tells me I"m using good oil, and, 30k is probably overkill.
