Your car takes 7.5 litres of oil as long as it is LL04 spec then should be fine, I have heard some dealers say 0w30 and some say 5w30 fully synthetic.
I personally use castrol Edge 5w30 and got 2x 4 litres from ECP at £26 each - use midmonth30 discount code gets you off 30%

Oil filter is best getting from BMW iirc £9 or £12 as they will supply new O rings and sump plug gasket
Microfilter - again you can get from BMW or ECP, if you do get non BMW make sure it is carbon element slightly expensive but better at filtering -I was once quited 0.5 hours labour by BMW to change the microfilter whereas it takes me less than 2 mins - 6 screws pull off change filter and screw back down
Brake fluid - again probaly cost £10 at the most for few litres just the labour - I got my brake fluid done at sytner for £52 through main dealer discount
In all I would go ECP for the oil/BMW for the filters/brake fluid local indi should have plenty |
Thanks for that dude very helpful! Yes I've booked in with Main BMW Dealer as I've always done however, as I've no warranty, I thought is it worth me paying extra just to go Dealers... Will going to a specialist / reputed Indy lose my FSH?
I'll get ordering the oil now infact and if it's better to book with an Indy, I'll just cancel my dealer appointment tmrw.

Well, that's because he's 30 miles out and it makes little sense to travel that far IMO. Although I'll be paying him a visit next month for something else related to increased BHP..
