1. It is high HTHS oil with some 4.4cp. N54 needs 3.5-4cp. What you doing is creating unnecessary heat and drag. Your turbos need bit more time to spool. Basic rule if lubrication: as thin as possible, as thick as necessary.
2. Sport is only API certified, which mean Noack limit is 15%. N54 has issues with CBU and you might be contributing more than necessary.
3. BMW engines are oxidation monsters. Sport is ester based which means it has higher oxidation than street oil.
Sport is good oil if you spend a lot if time at the track and when I mean a lot, I mean every weekend.
Get Castrol Edge 0W40!

Thanks for your answer, I didn't know that! By the next oil change I will try the Castrol Edge 0W40. |
This made me think; which country are you in?
If EU country, go LL04 oil. N engines were always LL04 in Europe. If you want thicker oil go Motul X-Clean 5W40 GEN2. It has HTHS of 3.9cp. LL04 is Low-SAPS oil and it will reduce amount of CBU on your intake valves. Not prevent it, but reduce it.
