According to the Castrol Website Edge 0W-30 is for BMW and Mini's, I bought 5W-30 in error!

If you do a complete oil change then you will need 4.5 litres.

Hi Caesar, You didn't get it wrong. For the R56 5W-30 is the correct oil as it is the recommended BMW LL04 grade. 0W-30 can be used but it is classed as an alternative as it is BMW LL01. Page 94 in handbook..!
