Just dumped the 1200mi service TWS after the MFEST, and I'm now running M1 0W40 with a full can of LM MoS2.
Will post result soon.
Same experience as in the 2011, oil needle reaches the 210degree marker way faster, and oddly enough, there's less vibration inside the cabin at idle now with M1 0W40.

My M5 was not sounding happy using Mobil1 0W-40. It made for a noisy Vanos system. How does the engine in your M3 sound with this oil?
Odd, I noticed no differences in the sound of my VANOS on M1 0w-40, BMW 5w-30 or (currently) PU 5w-40. It is very quiet on all three oils. My buddy with a 2000 has wild VANOS noise though, holy poo!
