There is not a scenario where GTL isn’t really needed.

It is rather cheap

I have that expensive $9 Castrol euro to use up though

2018 bmw 328d... it's not new but by '18 they fixed most of the timing chain issues and the best part is no lane keep or other "features"
Oh and 40mpg is easily doable

You will have to save for eventual emissions repair and it may leak oil but it's still cheaper and more comfortable than a new car
