Well, for one, BMW uses a branded oil, I think used to be Castrol, I think its Shell now?

I would agree with like the boutique oils might not be as great, but I wouldn't call Liqui Moly a boutique one, since they sponsor a lot of race events/cars.

They are a pretty big brand in Europe, and their focus is primarily on oil. Keep in mind Castrol/ Mobil do have big budgets, but I would imagine they also spend time researching for higher numbers, rather than specifics, where as some of the brands forcus on performance.
