Oil change is easy, just remember the M3 holds more oil than average so the regular 5 quart pan will not hold it all. Buy quality oil filters that have the o-ring in the box. Autozone, checker etc all sell good filters but they do supply the o-ring and copper washer for the housing.

Manual or automatic? Manual is supposed to be good for life of xmission. Fill plug on side of manual is difficult to reach for filling but not beyond average guy. Auto should be changed out in either case go with synthetic fluids. Hit book store and get Bently manal for your car, follow recommended fluid types for your year and model.
