Best place to get engine oil? (E46 - M43 - 1.9 - 01)

Hey, as far as I know, I need EDGE 5W-30 (I think), the car is:
BMW 2001 (318i) - M43 - 1.9 - 118bhp - sedan/saloon - manual - petrol.

Where is the best place to buy it? Last time I bought oil it was from Halfords, it was like 5 litres for 45 Euros or so, I was wondering is there any cheaper place?

Thanks.

Most motor factors would beat halfords pricing on most things. Be worth a call or popping in

Halfords often has good deals on oil. Local motor factors might be able to beat that price.

Okay, will have a look tomorrow so, what makes motor factors so cheap btw?

I was able to get 5l of 5w30 magnatec in my local motor factors for around €25, definitely try them before halfords

Aye shop local if you can. Ring a few factors with what car you have and they'll check if they have recommended oil for it and how much it is.

Got 5 litres of oil today for 30 euro from a motor factors in Kimmage area.
Though it's not Castrol that I used before, it's Fully Synthetic, 5W/30 Fortech
