As some of you know, about three years ago BP Castrol TWS Motorsport was discontinued and replaced with a formulation dubbed Castrol TWS Edge (Professional). Although initially upsetting, according to my research the two were similar, so I moved on.
I've been using Castrol TWS Motorsport and then TWS Edge Professional on all my BMWs since I acquired the Z8. Went to my local dealer yesterday (09/03/2014) to buy TWS oil for one of the cars (not the Z8) and the parts guy said that this was last of it. What????? Apparently, BMW and BP Castrol have parted ways and Shell will be providing BMW oils going forward. Shell, are you kidding me? I won't put their lousy fuel in my tank and now I have to trust them for the oil in my engine? WTF, is BMW thinking. Obviously, now I'm really upset.
This is but one of many Internet threads http://www.e46fanatics.com/forum/sho....php?t=1034832 on the subject.
Has anyone else heard of this?
