I called 2 dealerships in my area: one said 6.5L, the other said 7L. I did my own oil change and put in 6L and the onboard computer said full (removed ~5.7L while the computer said full). I read on the F30 forums that the computer has space for extra oil because the N20 is known to consume oil.

In any case, please let us know how much oil you're installing and make sure its LL-01 rated. Some good examples are Castrol Syntec 0W30 and Mobil 1 0w40. OEM BMW oil (from the dealership) is also great.

Oh and the filter should be a cartridge with a black end cap.
