Yes they are direct injected just like the audi, accept it's got two snails on it as well

Motul 8100 0W-40 and 5W-40 will be a good choice since they are a Group V oil and they do meet the specs for BMW engines

This is the first I've heard of an N54 failure. I'm fairly involved in the CCA here so you'd think I'd heard of failures since the southern CA chapter is the 3rd largest in the country. To date all I've heard of is track related overheating and high oil temps (~290 degrees). Where did you hear of the failures?

Both of those are actually PAO based. I think only the 300V is predominantly ester based.
If you concerned about warranty, I'd use Amsoil 5w-40. Otherwise I'd use RLI 5w-40.

Amsoil is good too, i love AMsoil but Motul just gives out more horsepower

It does? Anything to back that up? Making those kind of comments on a board like this will get you flamed fairly hard.

Motul 8100 is 100% syn, and the 0W-40 is ester based, while the 300V lineup is double ester based

Anyone want to venture a guess what the fuel dilution will be on my original oil (it's a lease) with 9k miles and a couple track days? Thanks for posting your results. I will post my 9k oil for comparison when Terry is done. It should be interesting.

Once it sludges up, maybe it seals the rings real well.
