Sorry for briefness of above, only had a few seconds at work to post it. Basically I'm gonna do my 1st home service of my car, It only needs an oil change as I've done everything else major needed in the last year already. I'm just not sure what grade of oil to use? I'm assuming a 328 will need a fully synthetic oil? GSF sell a quantum 5w-30 fully synth which I was thinking of using. Or should I just buy the filter & oil From BMW to ensure they are corect?

Thanks,

Dean.

If the car is on variable service schedual then you will need a BMW LL01 spec oil, usually a 0w-30.

If the car is on a fixed service schedual then a good BMW approved 5w-40 synthetic for all year round use.

If you would like prices and options, just drop me a mail to sales@opieoils.co.uk

Cheers

Simon.
