What type of oil should I use in my BMW M3?

I recently purchased a BMW M3 and I'm not sure what type of oil to use. Is synthetic oil necessary? Can I use regular oil? Please advise.

Regular oil can be used in your BMW M3, but synthetic oil is the preferred choice for better protection and performance.

I've been using synthetic oil in my BMW M3 for years and have never had any issues. I highly recommend it.
