About the 1997 BMW M3

The 1997 BMW M3 uses the 3.2L inline-six that defined BMW's character for a generation. The S52 B32 L engine is smooth, free-revving, and famously durable. These engines earned their reputation with owners who did one simple thing right: they used good oil and changed it on time.

Inline-six BMWs from this era have a few known needs, and oil is at the top of the list. The VANOS variable valve timing system depends on clean oil pressure, and so do the hydraulic lifters. Let the oil go too long and the engine lets you know about it with noise and rough idle.

AMSOIL's European formula is built for these engines, with the low-SAPS chemistry modern BMW emissions systems need. Running it on schedule is the single best thing you can do to keep the VANOS quiet and the engine smooth.
