Thanks for the input guys but a while ago I read that BMW did an oil for life, this will obviously need a change but I'm sure that I also read that it will need different oil. Do I have an LSD

If you have a 2.8 you'll have a 25% lsd.

Sean's is a 2.0, I would go to a good retailer and buy the oil grades specified in you handbook mate. If you give them the reg. no. they will have the correct oils you need.

Go and speak to opie oils if you are unsure. They are the business and sell oils at the best prices
