Not as far as I was told by BMW HK...
Q:"Which oil you're adding to my car?"
A:"Shell..."
Q:"Is there any other choice?"
A:"No, we use Shell for all the cars here"
Q:"Are you supposed to carry the original BMW engine oil?"
A:"BMW doesn't make oil...."
Q:"Can I bring in my preferred oil for the change?"
A:"We don't recommend"
So...I'm left with no choice esp when they're asking for $3xxx and req me to leave the car overnight
As for the Motul , I doubt it's really the quality of the oil that make the car's ECU complain. Probably more to do with underfilling or overfilling the engine by the garage who has no knowledge about how much oil the engine take(remember we've got no dipstick). Anyway I will try the Motul probably right after the first service and if the engine did consume more oil than I'd like to see, I will go a grade thicker till the ECU shut up
BTW, I was told by BMW HK there is a free, optional software update for my '10 F10, but it'll take 3 working days
