When I see the recommended oil viscosity selections in my iDrive owners manual...it doesn't confuse me at all. I see several selections that BMW recommends...and when I go to purchase oil for an oil change...I make my selection based on any of the recommendations...and if one is on sale that's the one I usually purchase.

Does it confuse me...thankfully , no.
