The 0W-40 is marked as "Approved for BMW: LL04". None of the others are though...
Tim, where did you get the 10W-60 from? I'm lead to believe only BMW can supply it - at about $25 a litre!!

BTW - I notice in the Castrol / Ronaldo (Hot places.....cold places) ad that his M3 tops up with 0W-40, though I reckon it's just an oversight not intended to be picked up by sharp-eyed M3 fanatics!
