In other words: dude, it ain't the oil. You did something during the oil change process or some random part failed precisely at the same time as you doing an oil change (in which case you are a very unlucky guy).
Start closely checking all hoses, electrical connections (clean, dry, connected), etc., etc.

Hi.
Please dont think I am disputing what people say, as i have asked for help.
I am just trying to get my head around why it only happens when the oil/engine is at operating temperature.
Unlucky, yep, thats my middle name.. Doesnt matter what car I will buy, I get the lemon.
Because on Monday, the Sunroof died where the rear wouldnt close. looks like I wont be using that anymore.
Ok, so by the sounds of it, the oil is Ok (it was the recommended one).
I have triple checked all connections in and around the oil filter (as that is the only part I touched on top of the engine, and there are no holes, and everything is secure..
Of well, looks like I'll take it to a "proper" Diesel Engine specialist.. (not these BMW service departments where the trainees look over it).
I'll report back any findings.
