After learning that I determined that if BMW wasn't loyal to their oil then I didn't need to be either. So I took back their oil and went to Walmart and bought Mobil 1 0W40 Euro for $26/ 5 qts. F* you BMW.
BMW has probably changed aluminum suppliers too, are you going to take your car back to them because they aren't loyal to their materials suppliers? LOL.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
