I assume LM will reply back with its safe to use once the manufactures break-in period is complete but I will reach out to them to get the official word.

I trust the company, but the whole "additive" idea begs a VERY SPECIFIC question.
WHY NOT HAVE IT IN THE OIL ANYWAY?
If it isn't in the oil that's BMW approved, there's a reason. They know it, and just get them to cop to it.
My buddies at Exxon/Mobil say it makes the oil a little abrasive in too high a concentration. It works great at startup (cause it's sitting on the surfaces), but the higher the concentration gets the less likelihood that it helps.
A lot of oil makers have gotten away from high moly suspect for these reasons. Liqui-moly doesn't put it in the "off the shelf" products mostly. And it's in their name. So, WHY?
