    I use it, Frank. It's sold over here exclusively by BMW dealers under the "Castrol Motorsport" banner and it's called "TWS 10W-60."

    My hot idle pressure is up over Mobil 1 15W-50 and hot run pressure doesn't appear to be dropping off much at all over 3K miles into the change interval.

    I'll change it at 5K total.

    I use castrol products all the time.

    Here, that one is branded Castrol Edge 10w 60 Synthetic. I use it in modern stuff, if your ambient is particularly cold, you may have over pressure problems when cold, but i's great in warm/hot climates....

    but dirty old carb cars prefer Magnatec... in Fact BB's love the Magnatec... visibily and immediately reduces start up smoke.

    From what I've heard the TWS name has changed to Edge? It is great oil though...I used it in my old e39 M5 as well as in my current e60 M5 and BB512i...I have noted not only a lower oil temp in my Boxer, but also no smoke whatsoever at start-up like I had with the Mobile1 15w 50...

    It's the only oil specified for use in my E46 M3-2001 S54 engine. Good stuff, but $$$
