Also, Mobil 1 0w-40 is actually listed by BMW as one of their 01 type motor oils so it should be just fine with no warranty issues. I just wanted to know what others are using.
I use Mobil 1 in my out of warranty Z4 and other vehicles, but I use the BMW oil for my 2010 in-warranty X5. I figure no reason to do anything that might impact the warranty, and my dealer sells the BMW oil at a reasonable price.
