Hi All,

What is the recommended oil and plugs for the M50?

Any opinions welcome.

Cheers

I use 5W30 fully synth and Beru plugs

Same here, BMW recommend 5w30 fully synth for the M52, which is what I'm using, would assume similar for the M50. I'm using NGK plugs I believe, can't remember the model number though, may be BKR6.

Think it's about 7 1/2 litres to fill from empty, I bought 10 litres of Shell fully synth and got violated for about £90

Who did that include a tank of fuel too lee. That will be going on the service account I reckon.

Dan what's the best oil for my motor matey? Fully sin I know but any make better/worse?

10W40 in my M50 (Castrol Magnatec).

Im sure the last stuff I bought was from Opie. Motec something....... Give me 10 mins and I'll get in me shed and check ;)

5w30 synthetic is what I always use

Cheers all,

Time for a good check up and service prior to using the m50 for my daily.
