unless you are gonna keep your car for 300,000 it probably doesnt matter. Even at that, it doesnt matter. The kinds of oil you use is one of those arguments/discussions that car enthusiasts have when they are discussing a moot point.
All of these oils have to meet specific standards to be sold.
It all comes down to marketing. I like mobil 1s bottle better.

My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC.

If you are adding a quart to the Castrol already in there, then I would use castrol. If you forgo the free maintenance and do it yourself then either would work well. I think Mobil 1 has been around since the 1970's.
