so why would the manual recommend 5w-30 on x5 and other bmws while MBs amd Porches 0W-40. So really is a preference. I use 5w-30 on my bimmer and 0w-40 ony MBs and Porsche!

5W30 is the preferred weight, all things being equal, but if you do choose to use Mobil 1 then the Mobil 0W-40 is preferred over the Mobil 5W-30 due to its performance. Another way to say it is that Mobil 5W-30 isn't a very good oil. It isn't about the weight in that case, but rather the quality of the oil.
