Could be, except for the fact that Castrol is BMWs OEM oil supplier now. So something isn't adding up, maybe they're reformulating and we get error messages till they're done idk.


Oil is Castrol (atleast for oil changes, no idea what they sell), diff is msp/a but moving to saf-xj like in the us, transmission idk last time I got oil it was still the German made mtf-lt5, brake fluid same story German made dot 4 lv, coolant is the same stuff you get in the US except it has French as well.


Imo the only thing that is really critical for me is the diff oil and I guess coolant but I think this is static g48 coolant globally so it won't vary, anyways I'm using after market everything else next maintenance cycle. PPE for engine oil, redline dctf for the trans, ate type 200 for the brake fluid.
Castrol is only supplier in North America. Shell elsewhere.
