I am sold on the Pennzoil from nat-gas as a cleaner oil. Very interesting that on the Pennzoil Web site they recommend Euro 5W-40 which does have a pour point of -42. Where BMW does say that a 5-40 CAN BE USED -- THE MOST COMMON oil used at a dealership for the N55 is 0W-30.

I am going with Pennzoil EURO 5W-40 LL-01 oil very 5k OCI. Having been a prior owner of the N54 engine -- and reading the latest from Mike Miller who recommends 5k OCI for the N54/N55.
.
I would think the M2 with an N55 variant would be best served with the EURO 5W-40 in warranty and possibly even Redline 5W-30 post warranty due to RL is a heavy 30wt almost near 40wt but as a full ester which handles the heat & really superior oil for the turbo.
