So after reading the fall issue of 'Fast Times' News Letter.....I'm considering trying Lubro Molly oil. Anyone try it? Bavarian Autosport speaks highly of it....and it is currently the same price per qt as BMW oil....only addition would be shipping cost....
Here's the article......

More expensive doesn't always mean better. BMW oil is more than adequate to do the job. Is Lubromoly LL01 certified?
Also, don't forget 20% discount on BMW oil if you have CCA.
Regards.

German Castrol European Formula 0w-30 at Autozone is as good as OEM oil. And it's $6.99 at Autozone

CCA = BMW Car Club of America. Membership gets you 20% off of parts/accessories at BMW dealerships.
