Anyone notice that for the 2016 M235, BMW is requiring 0W-30 vs 5W-30? OW-30 is arguably a more robust oil for a performance engine, but will impact MPGs slightly. I'm fine with that. Most performance cars in Europe run 0W-30, OW-40, or OW-50. 5W-30 spec oil is very much a US thing and used to boost MPGs. In turbo motors, you want a robust oil because turbos are very hard on oil, specifically heat.
