Also a side note, in 2018 bmw changed ll01 specs, so even if you have an old bottle of m power 0w40 that ll01 no longer applies to it. So that oil will now void your warranty if you use it. So in 2016 they discontinued 0w40, and in 2018 with the spec change they obsoleted it.

ECS sold me the "really great" 5W-30 Shell stuff as part of an S55 oil change kit, so that's what's going in on Friday. At 10k at the dealership, it's back to the current 0W-30. I really don't care, my car doesn't get tracked or driven particularly hard, except on BMWCCA cruises, and even then, only briefly and not super hardcore. I'm sure the 0W-30 stuff is quite sufficient for the duty the car sees from me.
On a very loosely-related note - I'm on my 2nd Golf R. My first one had the Haldex diff fluid changed at its 30k service and the dealer didn't refill it, causing it to eat itself shortly thereafter. The dealer owned up to the mistake and covered the cost of replacement - over $5k in parts alone. 3 years later, I'm in a newer Golf R and just had the 30k service done, at the same dealership. They have treated me so well that I will continue to use them. Had a nice chat with the service manager when dropping the car off - he remembers me and the incident quite well. When I picked up the car, I was told "the shop foreman did your service today". Should be smooth sailing this time.
