Just had my 1200 mile break in service done earlier and was looking over my work order. From what I gathered trying to look up, I think they might have given me LL-14 FE+0w20? I could be wrong but here is a picture of what my service order looks like? Does this all look correct for a 1200 mile service? 6MT btw

Sometimes dealer lists the wrong part #, even though they put in the right oil when they use bulk oil from the 50gal barrels. I would however double check with them..

I would most definitely not run 0W-20 on the N55. Nonetheless 0W-30 or 5W-30 in hotter climates. I personally run 5W-40 on my car.

That did cross my mind also if they hopefully just put the wrong part# on the work order but still a little uneasy knowing I may not have the correct recommended oil in the M2

I learned recently when doing the oil change on our '13 X1 that BMW changed the required oil spec from 5W-30 to 0W-30 and may be going to 0W-20? Not sure if there is a SB or not? This may affect other vehicles as well? Anyway, I would just give them a call and see if this is the case and confirm it for yourself.

EDIT: Just learned that it is MY dependent. 0W-20 will be an alternative to 0W-30 from 2016 onward.

Update

So I texted the SA that helped me yesterday to clarify on what the service order stated. He said,

"My tech used 0W-30 oil in your car. Our parts dept billed out the wrong oil."

"The techs have dedicated pumps for 0W30 oil so our parts dept didn't actually hand him the oil and that's where the confusion lies. My apologies."

Hoping that tech really did use 0W30 oil.

What's was the recall all about and why did they reprogram the car? Also, I don't see the diff fluid change on the RO?

The recall was for a tft screen issue some MY18 were having and affecting certain cars. Mine wasn't experiencing that issue but they needed to update the software anyways. As for the diff, the last line is the diff fluid as m2ruder also pointed out

Thanks for your input. I have to go on the word of the service dept that what was written up was not actually what was used for the oil.

What was your build date? They didn't note that recall info on mine or any software updates performed. I am 9/17/17

I better check if launch control was unlocked

I'm week 38 as well. I believe there was a thread about this issue and shortly after taking delivery of mine, some members had to wait to pick up their cars as they were stuck at port due to the issue.
