I just paid $98 for an oil change at my local BMW dealer in Northern Virginia. 7 quarts and filter, all taxes and fees included.
Yes, the Bosch 3300 is correct for your car. I just used exactly that one for my oil change a few weeks ago.
I've been using Castrol high mileage 5w-30 lately with Bosch oil filters. I suspect I don't actually have the one I wanted, just the Bosch model fits my V. I think their premium line is supposed to be similar to the Filtech design. I added the appropriate amount of Marvel Mystery Oil to the pan about 100 miles ago. I haven't been calculating mpg, but notice the b20 engine runs smoother.
I use Mobil one and a Bosch filter on my 18 turbo. It's the same thing I use on every car I've ever owned.
I placed an order for a toolset, oil, oil filter, drain plug, and filter wrench.
Any oil filter made for the car is fine, I bought Bosch P7078 just because it's available and a brand that I recognize.
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum + Bosch 3330 @ 7500 mile interval
Nothing special about it- it's one of the easiest cars I've changed oil on. As others have said, just stick to a good quality OEM-spec filter and full synth 0w-20 oil. And it does help to replace the drain plug washer every time, or else it has a tendency to have a few small drips on the plastic splash guard by the time you next change the oil.Most modern filters will have the anti- blowback valve that the OEM filters have. I use Bosch premium oil filters and Pennzoil Platinum 0w-20 full synthetic.
Happened to me last winter with a Bosch oil filter -- not even an el cheapo aftermarket filter, either. It looked someone had wrung it out like a dishrag.
Bosch filters are almost as bad a FRAM now.
