What type of oil should I use in my 2000 BMW 323i?
Also, how the hell do you set the time on the radio?

don't you have an owners manual...if not just go to the card dealership and let them show you how to do all those things!

you have a few options here. you can buy the BMW synthetic 5w-30 from the dealership. It should cost about $6/qt and you'll need 7 bottles.
the non-dealer option is to use a BMW Longlife approved motor oil. there aren't that many of them, but the ones i know of in the US market (i don't know where you're located) are:
- Mobil1 0w-40 (BMW-Longlife-2001)
- Castrol Syntec 0w-30 (BMW-Longlife-2001)
- Valvoline Synpower 5w-40 (BMW-Longlife-2004)
It is important to use one of the above oils or at least one with an ACEA A3 rating, so there's more to it than just having the right viscosity/oil weight. this ratings insure that the oil will continue to protect the engine under extended use, especially for long oil change intervals as suggested by BMW.
personally, i do oil changes every 7500 miles. and I use any of the 3 oils listed above based on what I can find at my local stores.

Check with a BMW dealer, but I believe that most BMW's use MOBIL 1 Synthetic oil, 5W 30.
If you bring the car to the dealer, they will probably help you set the clock for free.
Good luck!

BMW recommends name brand multiviscosity synthetic oils in all the OBD-II cars (1996 and newer). The recommended viscosity rating varys somewhat for certain extreme climate conditions (Saudi or Alaska), but generally temporate climates should use 5W-30 synthetic the year around.

Mobile 1 is the best oil. 5W-30 for your car.

I use Amsoil european car formula in both of my Beems, don't forget to change the filter cartidge, and the sealing ring.

Look at the oil fill cap and see which weight oil is listed. Then go to the auto parts store and buy the cheapest version of the oil you need.
