So I popped into Supercheap and they have Shell Helix Ultra and Castrol Edge available in 5 litres. There is a huge difference in price, the Shell Helix Ultra is a lot more expensive so I think Castrol might be the way to go. They can source a 20 litre drum of Castrol Edge at roughly $220. They can only get the Shell Helix Ultra in a 200 litre drum.

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!
You can buy the 10W-60 from Supercheap and from memory it was roughly $65 which is the same price as Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30. Good value imo.

I think it depends on the dealership. My dealer uses Shell and it looks like some others are using Castrol
