6 qts? Tell me that's not all of it...

Really?!?! My 328i takes 7 qts!

Reason number 263 to buy an e46 M3: Save money on oil by buying one less quart.
Side note: Ignore fact that 10w60 is roughly the same price as unicorn blood.

Welp, I'm getting a severe clunking while accelerating in 1st and banging/clunking when I let off the throttle going 30mph. Hopefully it's axels but I think the diff is to blame.

I didn't see any broken bolts or cracked anything.
It sounds and feels like the CSB but the diff had a little play in it and it was making some noise when I had it jacked up and was spinning the wheels like Jam Master J.
There has been a new vibration the past 200 miles once I hit 100mph. Anything above/below that it is fine.

From what I'm reading about the "clunk" I believe that it isn't that. Still leaning towards the CSB. My diff might be making noise when rotating the tires due to the sloppiness of the ///M diff.

This is exactly what the noise is like.

I would definitely believe it's the CSB. Mine was making HORRENDOUS noise before I replaced it to the point that I thought my diff was gone, my clutch was exploding, my drive shaft was falling out, my wheels were gonna fall off, etc.
Turns out replacing the guibo and CSB fixed it all. I had a severe clunk when taking off from a stop, banging/ clunking on decel around 25 mph - 35 mph and a vibration between 65 mph and 75 mph.

Monday it is getting fixed. Not enough time to do it myself between life, work, softball, house maintenance and the e30.
