Just saw superstores carry these oils recently....
Are these oil good for our cars?
it doesn't say BMW LL approved, but they are 5w-30....
anyone want to chime in?

No personal experience with this oil, but I would stick with Mobil 1 0w-40.. that's the only BMW LL approved. I just bought a pack of 5x bottles for $33 USD south of the border.

Hey Sam

Where did you buy the oil from?

The 0W-40 is an imported BMW LL-01 approved Euro formula and different from all the other Mobil oils sold in North America. Mobil can confirm this if you call or e-mail them. The warranty requirements for BMW gas engines sold in North America is LL-01 oils of the proper viscosity. There are many 5W-30 oils but most are NOT LL-01 approved.

I have the Amsoil 100% synthetic 5-30 oil that you can find at Canadian Tire It's $14 / L but it's worth it. The engine sounds and performs a lot better
