i seriously doubt it . i put regular oil or bmw's that ran great even after several thousand miles . i just thinks its becus its BMW. like honda makes there oil. doesnt hurt honda motors when u us mobile 1 or even cheap generic 99cents one .. lol

does anyone know what's the current prices for a quart now? cause all the Mobil, Valvoline, Castrol, Pennzoil, etc oil prices went up. is there any difference from the BMW synthetic compare to the Mobil and them? is the bmw oil a full synthetic oil?

BMW, Honda, Toyota, etc etc DONT make their own oils, they use the provider that gives them the best deals and then slap on their own labels.

MB uses mobil 1 for example, and infact they endorse it with mobil 1. Just a heads up.
