Hey gang, I just bought my 128i and i will need an oil change soon so found this interesting. Haven't looked under, so I don't even know where to put my floor jack yet, but maybe it makes a difference in how the car is tilted so the oil may not drain completely. Too much to one side, or too high in the front will cause the oil to shift to the side or rear of the pan, and not completely drain?
I have used Mobil 1 15w50 in the E36 M3 and the E34 M5 exclusively...are these N52 engines that fussy that they need 0w40? I tried 0w50 in the M5 years ago and the oil pressure light would come on when warmed up and idling. Didn't like that.....
Thanks, Bill K
