My question is, why use a fuel economy oil (0w20) in the M2? Any technical reason? Or is it cheaper?

In all seriousness, all manufacturers are trying to get to lower viscosity oils to reduce friction. I don't believe there is fundamentally a technical issue for the lower viscosity and I won't run 0W20 when I am changing my own.

That’s why I’m confused as to why some are choosing to run it. Is it much cheaper, or what is the reason? I mean, why not just run the required oil? |

Here in Romania the dealer is using BMW oil 5W30 (83212465849). As i have a prepaid maintenance program, I am stuck with thei oil but I will do an oil change at half their interval (aprox 8000km).
I just done the oil change and I will send a sample to Blackstone Lab. for analysis to see how it looks after 8000km of relative hard driving |

Any reason Liquid Moly Special Tec B FE SAE 0W-30 wouldn’t meet the requirements?
