I quickly bought a couple of old 5L jugs of RS Edge 0w40 (LL-4) for now. I'm not sure what I will do in the future. I might just switch over to the BMW's dealer sold synthtic oil LL-4 also. I found a place online that sells that for 7 euros per liter.

I just recieved my Castrol RS Edge 0w40 LL-4 oil today! Looks like they still had some of the old stock left. When they run out I might just start to use the BMW dealer oil - sold over here in DE. These guys also sell it and its dirt cheap at 7 euros vs the dealer at 23 to 33 euros PER liter!

47 euros for 1 - 5L jug plus 1 1L bottle. Not a bad deal!!
