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.

Good deal. Not doubting quality of it - more so the sequential timing of it all? ;
- S65 clearance problem noted (BMW utilizing Castrol TW60 at time)
- F8X M Platform released
- BMW changes oil provider to Shell
Probably no bearing whatsoever nor would change S65 make up - curious how often car companies change oil companies. IE: Prior to Castrol who was BMW's oil provider.
Will be continuing to run Castrol and log. Utilized 2 L of the professional / and remaining 7 of Supercar on my oil change today. My upcoming report of oil just taken from the car only has 1815 miles on it so is not going to reflect much of a change.
However, the following one is the one I'm looking forward to seeing. Will keep updating my Blackstone thread.
P.S. - Your sig should say NOW: E9X M3 _______
