I was told to use synthetic oil. you can check everything about the car at any BMW dealer to see what was done or used. It's pretty cool. I just got a 2002 325 cic, and they had put in synthetic oil from almost the beginning.

also, i had asked the forum about gas, and the response was that I bought a premium car, so for the extra few bucks, use premium gas. I guess I will. I love this car so much, it makes sense (or rather dollars).

welcome aboard Chris!
mobil one synthetic is what i think the dealership uses. (i'd call to find out actually.)
bmw recommends 15k miles between oil changes, many on this board, and those into cars suggest half that.

as for gas, esp w/ high gas prices, paying 20cents extra over regular isn't even a 10% premium. searching premium gas should net enough results.
