is it OK to use regular motor oil instead of synthetic to top off your BMW when it

There is no scientific data to support the idea that mixing mineral and synthetic oils will damage your engine. When switching from a mineral oil to a synthetic, or vice versa, you will potentially leave a small amount of residual oil in the engine. That's perfectly okay because synthetic oil and mineral-based motor oil are, for the most part, compatible with each other

However, it may invalidate any warranty if you mix or use the wrong oils
