BMW 130i E87 · 265 PS (2005–2007)
The 265 PS 130i brings a six-cylinder engine to this selection. Its architecture and some equipment differ from the four-cylinder models, so a 116i or 120i quotation may cover different parts.

Documented oil quantity
For N52 B30: TIS gives 6.5 l including the filter. HKS confirms this for the UF30 130i with N52B30A. Confirm this configuration before applying it. Check the level after servicing; this figure does not justify exceeding the vehicle’s maximum mark.
Oil approval
The 2005 bulletin permits Longlife-04 for petrol engines in the EU, Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein, excluding use elsewhere. Confirm the vehicle’s market.

Source [5]Questions about this version
Why separate the 130i from four-cylinder versions when requesting a quote?
This 130i has six cylinders and an electric water pump. Request parts for its configuration; a 116i quote’s parts and quantities are not automatically interchangeable.
