four.8is is on a distinguished road
Switching to Motul 300V Power 5W40

Well my oil change is long due..was doing some research these past weeks on which oil to go with and just decided on the Motul 300V Power 5w40
If anyone is using it and can leave some feedback that would be great..
modBargains sells it at 170$ for 10L..price includes a Hengst filter which by pt# looks to be OE...gotta email them to confirm before ordering..
Not the cheapest oil on the market but I'm ready to try this Group V oil. Below a basic explanation of what different groups mean

Group I - mineral
Group II/II+ - hydrocrak (VI below 120)
Group III - hydrocrack (VI above 120, mineral derive "Fake Synthetic")---this is what the BMW oil is made of
Group IV - polyalphaolefin (man made Synthetic)
Group V - Ester & other un-group fluid (Ester or Polyolester, super high grade Synthetic, good for aircraft jet engine).

And since we like pictures..here's one of the cool Motul bottle
