Hi all, finally bought a BMW after 30 odd years of owning Fords and Vauxhalls. I must say that i'm very impressed with the car.

My first question (and there will be a few more) is, what type and grade of engine oil should I use?

First number is lowest operational temp, go with the average weather for your area !

Many thanks guys. Is there a low oil level warning light or do I check the old fashioned way?

Welcome Kevin, There should be an oil warning light, but always best to check the old fashioned way, enjoy the forum. :D

      My old e36

      EXTERIOR MIRRORS AND CAR WASHES

      To be honest I would look at a different angle. Don’t sacrifice the mirror for a car wash. the styling for the mirror is functional too.. (to what extent is questionable). I would rather switch to a hand car washing place and keep the car correct.

      cruise control switches

      I think my X5 was built by the same man….. same loom, same year, same car… different wiring and colours!

      My old e36

      I just been looking at photos of my bmw e 36 and put the registration in and noticed it is still on the road. I put a lot of work into this car and this car was the best car I had and we love to be able to speak to former keeper and see how it’s doing after all the work I put into it with all the interior etc and just to see how it’s doing hope this message can find its way to my old car. The registration is P7 6AAB.
