Is it right you can only buy this from a BMW dealer?

I bought some from Halfords

Wouldn't think so, it's not unique to BMW.

Well I can't find any accept couple places mail order at £17 a litre no 4 litre...

Halfords don't carry it as its 5w not 10w

Special spec SAE 5w-40 API SL / JASO MA2

Does it have to be Castrol?

I had this argument with BMW over the oil for my K1300. I found some Rock oil the exact spec but bmw UK said if I had an engine problem and it was proved the oil was at fault my warranty wouldn't cover it! I couldn't take the chance so have stuck with Castrol.

Buy it from BMW, and when you use that litre, they'll give you another bottle half price, then every bottle in future half price, as long as you return the empty bottles.

Beware of counterfeit oils - buy from the Internet at your peril.

Good point about half price oil from the dealers. Thanks NG

I wouldn't worry too much you ain't going to need it for a long time, this bike does not appear to use any oil.
