It would be of greate help f you could explain the following questions:1) What's the engine code for the 192HP 525i2) I've e-mailed BMW Malaysia regarding the type of engine oil and when to change and here's what I was told. Can someone please reconfirm this? ThanksI was told that the engine oil to be used is Shell Helix Ultra Fully synthetic but from what I've heard outside, BMW recommends Castrol right? I've did my two oil changes using Castrol, should i switch over to Shell? Any recommendations? And for the routine service interval it is said to be done every 20,000km. What about the brake fluids? When are they to be changed I don't have the service booklet as this car was not bought from BMW Malaysia or Auto Bavaria as it was an import used as a demo car in Japan.3) In the same e-mail, I was also told that this particular BMW does not require any transmission oil changes for a lifetime. Is this true?4) This particular car comes with the M-Sports Package along with the 135M Double spoke rims which use Bridgestone Run Flat Tires. Where can I get these RFT's and how much will they cost? And does anyone know where to get the Hamann M-Sport Front Lip and Rear Diffuser and how much will these items cost individually?I apologise for asking too much here. But I hope to learn something about BMW's from all of you here. Thanks</p></blockquote><p></p>
