Also have an 08 328i, I use and stand by Liqui Moly 5W30 Special Tech oil paired with their Ceratec additive and an OE Mann filter. It is perfect for a high mileage BMW and makes it run better than ever.
Buy a good filter too, Mann is a very good one.
OEM Engine cover intake and piping with new MANN Filter never used
I've used Mann, Mahler, Bosche, K&N, and Porsche filters and have seen no difference apart from K&N have a welded bolt on top to ease removal.
Replaced the NGK Iridium spark plugs, MANN engine filter and cabin air filter a week after getting the car and was easing it with E85 and fuel cleaners before that as the owner told me it was sitting around for a year. Very happy with its idle noise and freeway speeds (in Mexico of course).
I like the MANN filters
Use VW or MANN filters. They really aren't much more expensive.
I use conventional oil (10w-40) and personally change it every 2,000 with a new Mann or Mahle filter.
the oil filters I've always used are MANN
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.
