I do a 5K oil change interval. I let it warm up for 5+ minutes every morning. Not necessarily because I'm intending to warm it up to operating temp but because that's just how my morning routine goes. I drive moderately and keep the RPM's below 3K and try to keep below 50% load on the engine, aka drive moderately.
Oem Bmw 5w30 longlife 04. I used this for 8 years in my high mileage n47 and sold that thing mint. Go with oem and don't waste a second more thinking about it. Enjoy the car. Just do the changes on time or early and it will be good.

Heb een ford fiesta, ik koop altijd ford formula F 5w30 geloof ik. Wat in principe gewoon castrol is.
I have a BMW e36 and it is standard practice to run an extra quart of oil at the track to prevent oil starvation and lifter tick. I have been doing it for years with dozens of track days along with many other people I know with no issues.
Original BMW 5w30 LL04. I'm sure other brands with the same specifications will be perfectly fine as well though.
My wife's truck recommends 5w-20. Burns it like a mfer though. I run 10w-40 in it and have for several years. Still going strong. 01 f150. Do with that what you will.

I recommend checking your oil level at 3000 miles because some vehicles burn oil. BMW and Audi especially, at 1500~2000miles I will top off.
I have a 98 TDI with 269k and I had an 06 TDI with 131k. I have dumped the unfiltered engine oil after each change into the tanks of both cars since I've had them (Beetle, 98, got at 230,880 miles). They burn fine.
Oil consumption is a common problem. My original E92 consumed a quart of oil every 1K miles. My current car does not.
