HI guys,

Please help me!! I am from Mexico, I just bought my Z4 2.5si E85 2007 and I want to change the oil and the oil filter, it has 90.000kms (56,250 miles), do u recomend me to use 5w40 instead of 5w30 ? y mi Mini Cooper R53 it has almost 60,000 miles and I use Red Line 5w40, as I know its an excellent oil, here I cant find it so always buy it here at USA, but with the Z4 I dont know where to buy the filter and the oil and how much quantity to buy of oil, please help.

Also I need to change this piece (Image attached) in both sides of my car and I dont know the name in english and the part number to see if I can buy it also at USA too, check price in Mexico before buy it.

Its FCAB, you may want to inspect that whole control and section and check, you may want to replace the entire section

Might need to check your years, 2007 should be 3.0 + not 2.5.

Check fcp euro, I dont know if they ship to your location, but they offer life time warranty

On the oil - yes, the 5w-40 would be correct. I'm not sure if the Red Line oil is certified by BMW or not. I've been using Castrol Edge 5w-40 for the last couple of years.

The part shown is a FCAB (Front Control Arm Bushing). Many different suppliers for those things. Sometimes a pain to get the old one off of the end of the control arm.
