I do on my e90. 5w30.

When my service plan expires on the F80, I will be switching to 0w 30 for the winter and 5w 30 summer Liqui Moly. I have thought about going with Castrol, but Liqui Moly on the 180k e90 has done well on the internals.

I've used LM Special Tec LL 5w-30 (LL-01) with no issues at OEM performance levels. I changed it at the 5K intervals in between the dealer's 10K intervals of TPT.

When I started tuning stages I switched to Motul Specific 5w-30 (LL-01 FE). Still 5K changes.

For the GC turbos I'm going to switch to Red Line 5W40.

Is this for big turbo use, or why the 60?

Ive tried to have the best of all worlds. Bought a street bike to do both, f82 for more straight line street things and fully converted e46 for turning things. Life is too short for me not to have options! LOL

As for the OP, I only use LM in the track car as a less expensive alternative to the factory Castrol oil of 10-w60. In the f82 as with most all my modern bmws (roughly 700,000 miles between wife and I) we use the mobil 1 0w40.

I've been using LM 5w40, molygen is cool but not carried locally. Usually the blue bottle.
