Which one do I get? I found the oil filter at Bavarian Autosports, but I don't know which oil to get. Anyone know? Also what is the oil capacity of the N47 engine in the 328d?

Thanks ahead of time. I'll be doing a break in oil change at about 1500 miles.
I would think it would be the LL04 (not '03), as that is what the M57 335d & X5d use. There are other LL-04 oils out there - easiest way is to go to E90post to the N57/M57 forum and search: http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=377

There have also been some very good oil discussions on the diesel forum : http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=377
