I switched to LubroMoly/LiquiMoly because the M1 0w-40 was too hard to find, Walmart use to have the 5qt jug but not anymore. I use the 0w-40 TopTech 4100 in my Z3. I use the Racetech 10w-60 in my M5. The only acceptable M5 oils are the LiquiMoly RaceTech or the dealer Castrol. Both LiquiMolys I get in 5L jugs from
www.bmaparts.com for a good price shipped. I've used them for all my BMW parts for 15yrs. Its just easiest to get all my stuff from one place.
I hear ya, I doubt I will wait the 15k miles for oil changes on the maint plan for my SO's CPO X3 which has 2 yrs of maint left. Will probably do at 7500 miles though.

I change every 5K regardless of BMW recommendation.. I grew up crawling under cars and changing oil every 3K actually when Synthetic was not around yet... I guess the custom stuck with me!. True.. over kill and waste of money probably doing it every 5K. Any particular reason you switched to LubroMoly?. I used to use it on my very own first BMW.. and old '82 320i.
