I've heard 6.5 for non-Xi and 7.5 for Xi. Usually a good idea to buy an extra quart as well.

This.Different design/shape of oilpan.7.5 for Xi? You must have a diff engine....
But for the past two oil and filter changes (and after swapping to a different Xi engine in my car), I've only been able to get 7 qts in before I'm at the top of the dipstick.
Even though, I'll still buy 8 qts each time - I use a qt in my new used engine about every 6k miles.

Updated the original post to my recommended oils. Also can a Mod change the title to "The Oil Thread" or something of the sort?
EDIT: Thanks Kayger!

German Castrol sounds like a good oil, just wish it wasn't so hard to find. I know some guys that work at an oil distributor so one of these days I am going to ask them if they can get me a couple of cases.

So if I am reading this correctly then Castrol makes two different types of oil packaged in the same contrainers: Castrol Edge?
Not that it would make sense, but why have two different types of oil in the same container? I know that the normal "Black" bottle is Group III, but the "Overseas" Edge is Group IV? So would that make the U.S. version of the Edge Group III as well? Yeah lots of questions, but why would it say that Edge works for BMW in Longlife 01 TIS?
