when it comes to modifying the m2 im basically doing everything but a ps2 turbo. what oil should i run? i think a 40 weight is probably better then a 30 weight due to the extra heat.
what brands would you go with? im looking at the following three

shell helix ultra 5w40 (pennzoil platinum euro 5w40 its the same thing)
motul 8100 xcess 5w40
liqui moly molygen 5w40
(or what do you all suggest rather?)


(here in south Africa the oem oil is 5w30 for the m2. BMW will not sell me any other alternative . this was just a response to a previous comment stating that they will only use 0w30 as that is the oil the engine was designed for)
