Whichever one has a nicer label, since there is really nothing to choose between them. What would be worthwhile is a test result or data on any impact on engine life by using one or the other oil. I don't think that either will have an impact on total cost of ownership over an extended period. Really, in the hundreds of thousands of posts here and elsewhere on 'which oil to use' in a BMW, how many times have you seen photos of a torn-down BMW engine that show damage due to lubricant quality? One of the few sets of photos we did get showed the internals of a BMW six cylinder after 100,000 miles using BMW oil, at BMW-recommended change intervals. It looked pretty darn good.
On a slightly different note, as I read on through the Bav Auto promotional flyer, I saw a recommendation to use Kleen Wheels dust shields to reduce brake dust, as Bav Auto doesn't believe they will have any impact on brake cooling. They lost all credibility at that point, and put themselves squarely in the camp of snake oil salesmen.

I can always depend on JCL to catch my drift.
 I wasn't asking for advice re: what oil to use. I was after what ya'll thought of the advice in the article......  Quote:

But to concur with JCL I have personally been in more BMW engines than I can count, and even over 200k miles the ones using BMW oil at BMW service intervals have had no discernible wear or sludge buildup to think of. The only one that stick in my mind that had sludge/wear was getting jiffylube oil changes done about every 2 years or 15000 miles as they only had really short trip driving on it, so never really even got the oil to full operating temperature. (which is kinda important)
