No. The oil that BMW has Castrol manufacture for them is not labeled Edge.

Love that Edge statement "is compatable with all conventional and synthetic oils".......too bad it's not compatable with high temps.

The bottle pic you posted shows a 5W-40 Castrol Edge bottle, the BMW approved Castrol labeled oil BMW approves are in your post above, labeled Edge Professional. Guess the swill in the vid is Edge "Amateur"

Right but the API/ACEA requirements in the one I am using are the same as the BMW approved.

It did not get below 40 this winter and it will not be below 80 until December (getting up to 120). That is why I am using 5-40 with the required API/ACEA factors.
