mobile 1 is probably not the best but the safest choice. i think its over priced though but then again so is nike.
people I know who tried Lubrolene all said it is good, I probably will try at the next change also.

make shore you take it to BMW and not your wife coz alot of ppl say they don't change the oil.
As you know after changing the oil the car should be much smoother than before.
It a sham that your car don't have a dipstick to check :thumbsdown:
I know they use mobile 1 then you can tell us how good or bad itis.

keith84 i heard something about BMW having now somekind of cable or something that you can use to fit LCI taillights to non LCI cars!
As far as i know, the retrofit cable from the dealer must be work with the new LCM module and ECU programming. Which will cost my arm n leg
However, Bruce's kit is just plug n play with less hassle.

I used to used the Lubrolene REVO G-SPEC which is very good but cost about 1400 just for oil.
http://www.lubrolene.co.jp/car_products3.html
try it is good, this oil is designed to be used for BMW car
Thanks for the info, does it gives you smoother ride and more power?? How good is it?
And is that the same as the "Superman" oil that you suggested me b4?

Where can we get this oil ?

About my ATS Fender Wings, it is on the way to Hong Kong now from UK via UPS. Hopefully it will arrive some time this week or early next week. I think they will looks better without the side markers. However, I am not sure whether it will trigger the error code. If so, is there any way to avoid it ? Any thought ?
What is ATS Fender Wings??

it is much smoother and better power but at a price.
Ultraman is OK for day to day drive cheap
If you what the best go for the racing type but need to change at every 5000km to 6000km
