I have recently returned from across the channel and spent some time at the supermarkets by the chunnel, Mobil1 5w-40 was 30euro and a couple of cents, same price at the motorist shop across the carpark.
Didn't have the grade I required so left it, but now think thats the only one they do :|

Just done an excellent week of twisties with Phil and Marise, so bring on the rest.
Won't be drinking coffee as causes too many pee pee stops :oops: .
Z3M is very quick around the tight twisties and the torque does give it some pulling power out of them.
