Yes, I know the viscosity and rating is not blessed by the  BMW gods, and I don't care. 
Just curious if anyone's had anything other than perfect praise for this Group V ester base stock synthetic oil? |
I'm running the RedLine. The filter I got from bimmerworld in the oil change kit was a Mann filter, which was made in the same country as the OEM one I removed with BMW markings. I haven't heard of those royal purple filters.
It seems like whatever oil you go with, the key to engine longevity in the turbo DI era is changing your oil sooner rather than later.
