OIL change, MOTUL??? anyone know about this

[SharkmanBMW]

Time for some fluid changes...
engine oil, tranny, diffs, x-fer case..

I am using Redline for the diffs, tranny, x-fer case, but for the motor...
My new Shop suggested this:
Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40. This oil is BMW approved and recommended.

I told him I wanted to use Mobil1, but he suggested the Motul.
It is a race shop that has a lot of track and road experience, I have heard good things about Motul, I just want some additional info.

I can still do Mobil1 0w40 if that is what I decide.

Input please!

I use Motul. I can't recall the series name off hand but I use a semi-synth 10-50. Expensive but as you rightly say it's on the approved list and it's given me good service since I've owned the car.

Bikers know Motul - I've been using it in my Suzuki gsxr750 for years (recommended by other bikers) - seems fine.

is it a full synthetic or partly cloudy?
