It's regular BMW synth 5w 30. I would top it off at the dealer the first time so they can show you how much to add since there is no "@$)( dipstick. Yes it can tell you to add a quart but the guys that deal with it can share insights. On a different note, 15k miles is a looooooong time. You are probably the only one waiting that long. Remember it's 15k miles OR 1 year for free change in us. If a year has gone by just change it now IMO. This car has TWO turbos cooking the oil in the bearings. If you can't find BMW oil, Castrol long life syntec 5w-30 should work also. Good luck.
