My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Oil? we're supposed to change the oil on these cars?
Yes, I don't go to the dealer for oil changes, once the warranty runs out. I use the dealer for everything while the warranty is in effect, as a way to increase good will. This is how you get good will repairs out of them, but once the warranty expires the dealer is dead to me.

Heres a list of approved oils by BMW. I guess some oil companies are slightly thinner/thicker than others because they have different weights for each brand
