Duschioano on M5Board mentioned the bearing part number was changed on the S85 because the original ones contained lead, and BMW had to make bearings that didn't contain lead. Not sure if it's the same situation with our engines.

Also, has anyone considered running Castrol 0W30 instead of M1 0W40?
I'd like to mix a little with the 10W60 for track days. Kawasaki has said M1 0W40 deosn't mix well with the Castrol.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires." Last edited by aus; 08-29-2013 at 11:31 PM..
