You select oils as I do (Redline), I endorse your selection. Mike Miller (tech guy for the BMW CCA) highly recommends MTL in BMW manuals (with one specific exception) rather than ATF. I've tried it and agree.

For pixel issues, I found a guy in Budapest (I live in Switzerland so it works for me) who does fine work and has a line on good (used) displays. Great work and still fine with no issues after two years.

As Switzerland is now transitioning to DAB+ (digital standard) FM radio over the coming years, I am looking to change my head unit for a double DIN unit that will accommodate CD's (I don't have this in the trunk), AM/FM/DAB+ with RDS and a iPod port on the front. There is ONE unit (a specific Kenwood model) sold in Europe that meets my criteria. I've researched the installation brackets and found the best (guy who has one delivery point in Europe and another in New Jersey), the harness adapter and the interface module so you can still retain the steering wheel controls.

You would not loose the MPG or temp readouts on the instrument cluster.
Afterwards I will sell my BMW head unit, and preset the region codes and frequencies to the next user's requirements.
