Either way - Am probably just amplifying this out of proportion.


Both are API SN and very similar on paper. I doubt you'd notice much difference. If you are the paranoid type, use the BMW-branded oil. Otherwise, I'd just run whichever is cheaper/easier to get.

Plenty of people have run the Shell stuff without issue. I have at least two UOAs from it over the past two years (about 5-6k per year, including some track days). It was pretty much the same as my TWS reports.
