Whether or not to change the E46 tranny fluid is problematic.
1. Some mechanics say not to change it if you have waited beyond 70k because it could loosen sludge and cause it to go bad.
2. The fluid alone is over $200.
3. The change process is very difficult and I would only have it done by a mechanic that had done a few before.

I'm still undecided but I will probably have mine done in a few months at 65k.

DON'T resurface the rotors. Buy a deep throat micrometer for $30 or just change the rotors every other set of pads.

You can flush your own brakes. Get a Motive Power bleeder and take your time.

There are Peake tools and others that will reset your service light and reset the oil change interval. I think your year will NOT allow you to reset by a secret procedure at the dash. We have discussed this here in the last couple of weeks.

You can also buy a software based OBD reader like Autoenginuity which runs from a laptop or PPC. I like mine and I use it for timing during racing.

I'm sure I didnt answer all of your ?'s. Feel free to ask again.
