I use Silkolene Pro S, if you use Mobil make sure it's 'Mobil 1 Motorsport'.

Why not just buy 5 litres and do a full oil change to be on the safe side ?

Ł30 + oil filter not to expensive

Silkolene Pro R 15w-50 for my 2WD Sapphire.
I'm going to switch to Motul 300v Competition 15w-50 on my next change though.

if you are a menber on here you get discount from oilman - the offer was just 36 quid for a 5 litre pack of pro S 5-40 delivered - and that is 5 litres remember, not 4 like the packs of MOBIL 1 and castrol RS (which incidently is poo unless its the BMW approoved stuff)
