Be brave:go to the BMW spare shop and ask for a quart of oil. I think it is Castrol LL04. In Europe: it cost you abou 22 $.
If the car is under a service contract: BMW should do it. It is a 5 min job...

Sorry to come back but go to BMW, because it is difficult to find the accurate oil in comman shops. Valvetronic engine requires at least LL01 type oil and if possible LL04. LL means Long Life and is a BMW classification.

Indeed - nice way for the dealer to control the pricing
