porsche hk also use mobile 1. a very important factor is that bmw tested oil to run 20k km, it must be okay (but this doesnt mean this is the slippiest oil on earth) and I am not going to argue w bmw and porsche test dept.

I couldnt feel too much of a diff after changing into ultraman last time, good value may be but I wouldnt say it as a good.
I used ak stuff in the Stepwgn now and it feels much better that the shell that Honda put in.
for my old e60 I used 4 kinds of oil
ultraman good start to thicken at 7k $280 4L
ultraman was good and cheap, the feeling is smooth and quite.
Lubrolene SUPER RACING REVO G-SPEC very good start to thicken at 10k about $680 4L
REVO G-SPEC is the best out of the 4 but at a cost

shell is ok but it starts to thicken at 3k about $580 4L

mobile 1 is not good start to thicken at 1k about $580 4L

this is ok as long as you not keeping the car for a long time like me over 6 years.
also it is all down to how you drive the car and if you rev it all the time like me then I would change the oil sooner but if you drive like my mum at 3k rpm then it is ok to change it abit longer
you do know why they say this, if you change it sooner then the engine will last even longer and you will never have to buy other BMW
just kidding.
you should let the BMW service center show you the oil after 25000km you will not like it at all.
after seeing it you will think twice on changing the oil at there computer rate.
the funny thing is I was talking to the mechanics at BMW and on the side the guy told me dont go buy the computer to change oil do it at 10k or less
KC said this when he got is BMW too and now he changes sooner than the computer says or KC you still do it at 20000 each time

Why has everything to do with driving be related to TMS? Fact is that a Lambo or Ferrari is much harder to control than a Porsche - hence why you see SO many Porsches around. It is an everyday super car which anyone can drive, even women! ha ha ha
It is very hard to drive super cars such as Murcielago because of the sheer power despite it being 4wd.

TMS is like a short version of Nürburgring.
Porsches are the easy to drive day to day when not pushed that is why you will only see woman driving the Porsches and not ferrari and lambo
I always say it is a hair dresser car
sorry et and Will.
