Don't know why BMW made this change it's stupid as hell
I've always purchased the full oil change kit from ECS Tuning, so never even noticed until you pointed it out. Looks like I've been putting about 7.4 quarts in my car since the change without even knowing.

I'll probably leave about 1/3 of the 7th bottle remaining from here on out when doing oil changes. I've been contemplating changing engine oils all together, so this may speed up that decision. Thanks for the heads up!
