MSP/A" (BMW final drive fluid synthetic MSP/A) and it will replace "BMW Hinterachsgetriebe�l MSP" (BMW final drive fluid MSP).
Effect:
It is not permitted under any circumstances to fill up the final drive on a Z3 Roadster with limited-slip differential with MSP fluid. It is imperative that MSP/A is used in this instance, as if the wrong type of fluid is used, creaking noises can be heard when the vehicle is in motion.

The final drives should be filled with the prescribed fluid.
Any MSP fluid dealers may still have can be used up on any model except for the Z3 Roadster.
