The ideal would be the same oil that's already in the engine, in terms of brands. There have been a few threads on this subject.

Just pop down to your local dealer and ask for a top-up bottle if you have no preference. Should be around £20 for a litre.

What’s the recommended oil for full change?

Was changed last by bmw by previous owner. Not due for a change for 12k, just want to ensure it’s right. Maybe i’ll Call the dealer who serviced it and ask them what oil they used

Thanks so much. I’ve ordered oil from Opie.

Always do mid services on all my cars, no matter what they are. Been 2-3k since last dealer change, will get one in 2-3k again
