Hi - It took 7 litres as per the book. Yes it seems a lot but that's what it wanted.
Quick and easy - once I found the oil filter "hidden" at the back of the engine bay under the air intake. I only did this one as a precautionary after 4000 miles. Will leave the rest to BMW service plan. It did look like it needed it too!
