There is also an application list provided by Liqui Moly and it shows e9x M3 if its any credit.  |
Don't believe the hype...
It doesn't matter what LuquiMoly lists on their label as far as credits go. This 10w-60 oil has not been approved by BMW for use on the E9x M3. BMW has a "Special Oil Approval List" for certian vehicles. (like the M3 and M5) Porsche also has a similar list of specially approved oil products for select applications. (like the GT3)
The
ONLY oil that is currently on the BMW special oil approval list for the E9x M3 is:
Castrol 10w-60 TWS
Like the Shell Helix 10w-60, the LiquiMoly oil has to be imported from Europe, and it is only sold by select U.S. specialty oil distributors. The price is higher than what you would pay for the TWS. Again, switching over makes zero sense.
Not to mention the differences in chemistry, the type of oil base stocks used, and the special anti-friction additive protection packages that are unique to each oil brand.
You guys are nuts...
