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)

Those are all good choices and won't make much of a difference which you go with. Personally, i would go with penzoil ultra euro 5w40 (low NOACK score of 6.8%) in a hot climate or tracking and Redline 5w30 for all other uses (fully ester based synthetic with very low NOACK score)
