Better safe than sorry

Yea no joke, I'm dreading getting that oil analysis as my car has 102,xxx miles and I've driven this car the way it was meant to be driven. Now I'm afraid every time I push down the pedal to accelerate lol

I totally missed this then. Perhaps I should've done research on the S54 in the other M's instead of just the Z4M
