I have not tried Shell. But I had used the American Mobil-1 0w40 LL1 european oil in my 135i for teh first three oil changes. I then started to read some good reports on German Castrol 0w40. So I tried some(since I do live in Germany, the Mobil-1 oil I bought in base). I was blown away on how much quieter the engine ran on cold start. Must less metallic noises. Plus my oil temp was almost two needle widths lower(cooler). So I was sold.
I am sticking with German Castrol.
Btw... I also change my oil every 5K kms.
