Engine oil RAVENOL or OEM BMW

I can recommend Ravenol 5W-40 NDT oil, it's basically the best oil for the N57 (I assume also for the N47)

A lot of people are essentially saying "don't beat on it until that gauge reads warm," which is incorrect. BMW, in the G series, switched to showing *coolant* temperature on the speedo and not oil temperature. That is NOT the oil temperature gauge, and oil takes a lot longer to heat up than coolant. When that gauge shows operating temperature, give the car another 10 minutes or so to get the *oil* up to temp.

Just drive it. With these 0w20 oil is circulated immediately. My G20 330e does a cold start when accelerating the highway. The RPM limit is protecting your engine so even with a kickdown it won't go above 4k RPM and will shift very early.

i drive a g21 330D xdrive, I've been researching warm up procedures and people recommend letting the oil circulate for 30+ seconds then cruising in eco pro as the torque band is toned down and it changes gears as early as possible.

Depend on the oil grade that is in the engine.

In proper units that’s -15°C which is very close to the limit of a 10W- oil. I would let such car warm for 5 minutes easily.

If your car is running a 5w or 0w it will be fine to start driving in less than a minute. Which is just the time you need to remove the snow and ice from the windows, how convenient :P

If you can get your hand on it try some Ravenol with UVSO, it's like bottled Magic. Engines run so smoothly with it, father in law thought the engine was off with it.

I do in my BMW. Oil is cheap compared to a re and re on a diesel no longer sold in country.

In the end I went with the spec - RAVENOL VMP SAE 5W-30

Lots of BMW's as they get in to the upper mileage tend to start consuming oil one way or another.

Oil leak. Thats my G20, had to fill like 3 times oil myself during 30 000 km. Went to service and apparently they found two separate oil leaks
