Dealership

Most dealership you can just drive right to the body shop and they'll top you fluids off. Give them a call and tell them your fluids are low and they'll say just come by. Or atleast that's what they do at my dealership

Ohhh

Ohhh you don't have warranty. Hmmm not sure then man. If ur still under warranty u can normally just drop in for small things like that. I would call bmw and ask if that's okay with how much oil you have.

Do not mix your mobil super Non synthetic with BMW synthetic unless you plan on getting your oil change very soon after. Go to the Dealership and pay the 7 bucks for a quart of oil to top off the car.

And if you can't do that, pick up a quart of the approved Mobil 1 0w40.

never use 5w40, it is for naturally aspirated engines like N46-N52. It is better to use recommended 0w40 for N54-55.
