E60 Alpina B5 Onyx Blue

Post by g-dublin » Sun Feb 02, 2025 3:30 pm

Hi all. I recently acquired a 2006 Alpina B5 and imported to Ireland. I have just received a warning to change oil and filter. I know this needs to be done correctly. Any advice on correct oil and parts?

The main thing is to get the right oil filter lots of dealerships will give you an oil filter for 550i do not use this one it will starve the supercharger what you’re looking for is an oil filter for a 545i only Grade of oil I used for the first 10 years of ownership was on 0-30 I have since moved for the last eight years of ownership to a 5-30 only ever had Castrol.
