Our region don't think so there are many or any E46 using GM box, you're right...in the states they use GM boxes for some.Vincent,25% more power? No lar, it's more like 5% of recovery of power from using a smoother ATF to reduce more friction. Yes, Red Line has a high temp fully synthetic ATF for high performance which I think it's called Red Line ATF D4 BUT it's not compatible to ESSO LT, compatible to Dexron yes.Ade,I don't think yours is GM, pop up the hood, look for the sticker with a torchlight on the gearbox with the bar code...it has something like ZFxxxxx or GM xxxxx(on the E36 boxes so i'de reckon it would be the same kind of labelling as on the E46).By the way, the latest Dexron ATF is the Dexron IV but it's not available in the mass market yet. I've read that Red Line's D4 ATF has been made to conform to Dexron IV's specifications. Not sure if Dexron IV is backward compatible or not as haven't found any detailed information yet but to what I know Dexron IV's specification is catered towards better low temperature requirements.</blockquote>
