im running a euro air box, all you will see is black plastic engine bay and wrapped headers tucked away...

would be bitchen to have a clear valve cover to show off those cams and the perfectly clean silver head! (machine shop bathed the head)

Wondering if you ever did the UOA on the LM 10W60?
I've searched, but can't find the answer to this question....is the BMW synth TWS 10W60 a Group 4?

Thank you,
Jim

It's a Group 4/5 blend. It's a real racing oil sold by BMW for the "M" engines, but it originates with the BMW Motorsport division for use in their racing program. "Formula BMW" engines use it, and the M3 GTR V8 used it.

It's too bad people tend to slag it because the dealers sell it - it's vastly better than most of the "upscale replacements".

Thank you! I actually have a different application I will be using it for.

Take care,
Jim
