Fluids for M3 E46

I've search a lot around the M3 forums but never could get final answers on questions that sounds like:

What oil should I use for engine?
What oil should I use for Manual Gearbox?
What oil should I use for Differentials?

The only final answer I've got is that every M series BMW must be supplied by
10W-60 type of oil. BMW Recommends, Castrol, but I couldn't get Castrol 10W-60 in my country so I used Shell 10W-60.

Meanwhile two other question are still open for me. I saw a lot of strange recommendations but couldn't understand none of them.

Can anyone please help me with choosing manual gearbox and differential oils (fluids).
What brand is recommended and what type.


Thanks.
