mobil 1 has a fully synthetic european engine formula 0w/40 anyone use it yet?
Not on my 545 yet. Porsche recommended oil was 0w/40 for my Boxster, so must be ok?

Mobil1, Castrol, Shell etc. high quality brand Long Life oils will do, as long as the BMW specs are met.
All the oils are fully synthetic.
See your Manual!

After first oil change at my local BMW dealer, I now run with Shell Helix Ultra AP 5W-30.
