Is this okay?

Hey,
So I've just done my first oil change ever.

And maybe I'm over thinking this but I used 0w 30

Is that the right oil ?

I've put 5 litres in , I've heard it takes 5.2

So I've put 5 in it and I'm going to wait until tomorrow to top it up.

Have I messed up or is this okay?

Noobie haha

Did the oil have the BMW Longlife-04 approval?
Did you remember to replace the oil filter?

Slightly off topic but where can I get a good service manual with torque specs?

I bought a pdf file and it's terrible , 4000 pages and the only way to search it typing in key words . Not to mention the torque settings they use are not Nm .... they look kind of like this
