Mike Miller(BMW CCA Roundel Magazine Technical Editor:
techtalk@roundel.org) specifically calls out LubroMoly in his "Old School Maintenance Schedule FAQ" as specifically being endorsed by BMW in Europe. I use it and have found it to work well.
"In Europe, BMW endorses Elf (confusingly called Total in the U.S. market) 5W-30 and 5W-40, and LubroMoly 5W-30, 0W-40, and 5W-40 for the non-M cars. These are PAO synthetics like Red Line, and I’d have no problem running them 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Of course, they are not available at Wal-Mart; like Red Line, you have to order them for UPS delivery."
I would email him and request a copy of his FAQ as he is always updating it.
This man is a god among the enthusiast community as he has been working on BMWs before many of us were born and makes it his life to know everything about maintaining them. If he doesn’t know the answer to the question then he will find out.
