I buy the 15W-40 from BMW. and for colder climates You can use the 5W-30. But I hope some other people here can share as to what they use in their cars. But in the end check out a manual or talk to BMW about it.

I use 10w40 BTW. I would use 5w40, can't seem to find it around here. __________________ 1995 325I, window tint, K&N, debaffled airbox, BMW #104 wheels, Nighthawk low beams, smoked side markers, smoked corners, smoked taillights, M3 stlye heated mirrors, various interior bits, Bosal cat-back.
