ahh so you've already looked at it. i guess i just missed this thread.
Where did your read it was LL-04? Seems to be only LL-98...
And a word of caution about LL-04 oils:

The lower sulfated ash levels of the LL-04's result in a lower TBN. Which when coupled with the different typical fuel chemistries in the EURO and NA regions, means a shorter service life for the oil in NA. It's not that the LL-04 is bad for your engine, just that the LL-01 is preferable.
Also, fwiw, the TIS bulletin states that LL-04 oils should not be used outside the EU due to fuel quality issues. It seems all signs point to LL-01 regarding BMWs.
Personally, i'll be switching to GC next change, just out of curiosity. Seems like alot of people, including track/autox junkies, swear by it. A few people i've talked to said it even reduced the vanos rattle in their ZHP. I'm interested to know what all the hype is about

yeah I think it is only LL-98
which doesn't prohibit me from trying it BTW... knowing the outright quality of LM true synthetics
