BP (Castrol) paid to have that recommendation during the E9x era. Starting with the F generation, it’s been Shell. The “OEM” BMW oil is made by Shell as well.
Just objectively wrong lol. Castrol (BP) is the current oil producer for BMW, hasn’t been Shell for several years. Same as the OE coolant is made by Zerex (Valvoline)
BMW has a deal with shell to put that on their cars. Similar to how they recommend Castrol oil
Some say Valvoline depending on the year!

My 2012 F30 manual recommends Castrol…
It was around the time the F80 came out, so 2014
