What oil in 640?

What oil do I add to the 640? I assume its synthetic? In my other turbo cars, I added Mobil 1; what do you guys suggest?

Also, what weight is OEM?

Thanks!

When I go to get the oil from the dealership, the only question they ask me is whether it's an ///M or not. I just use their stuff.

Same as 650 - synthetic 5W-30. BMW recommends Castrol but Mobil 1 is fine. When I need a quart, I pull into the dealer, they pour one in and I drive away.

Oil update BTW: Needed two liters from 0 to ~12k. Since first change, haven't added any. Now at 17k.

Added 4 quartz to date with 7.5k miles on odometer. BMW NA has determined that my oil consumption rate is still within acceptable range after 1500 miles of oil consumption test, and they gave one free oil change at 6k miles and another at 7.3k miles.

My GC now at 24,000 kms (15,000 miles), still original oil, no changes, no additions.

Dash tells me to change oil in 10,000 kms (6,000 miles). This is the same as my previous 645Ci which typically went over 30,000 kms between changes.
