Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM BMW
BMW used to recommend you changing oil basically every time you blink, back when consumers paid for 100% of all maintenance. But in order to be more competitive, they began offering 3 year included free maintenance on all new vehicles.

Pennzoil because it runs about 20°F colder for me.
Pros: runs colder
Pennzoil. I've run conventional, semi synthetic, and full synthetic. Nearly 200k miles, still kicking like a mule. 7500 mile oil changes on the reg, some to 9000. No signs of slowing down.
Pros: still kicking like a mule
Cons: none
Mileage: 321869 km
Pennzoil ultra platinum often goes on sale or has rebates, I'll stock up a couple years supply when it does.
