I believe the two are basically the same product actually. Here's some specs: TWS (for M) : Now known as TWS Edge Professional Relative density @ 20.0 deg C = 0.865 Viscosity at 40 deg C = 163.1 Viscosity at 100 deg C = 24.3 Viscosity Index = 181 Flash Point (closed) deg C = 198 Pour point deg C = -42 TBN = 8.1 http://www.tds.castrol.co.nz/pdf/10709_Edge%20Professional%20TWS%2010W-60.pdf http://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/FusionPDS.nsf/Files/6FDB8BF64A70767380257B520054A718/$File/BPXE-96ZTLQ.pdf Compare that to the Titanium: http://www.tds.castrol.co.nz/pdf/10806_EDGE%2010W-60%20SN.pdf Almost exactly the same specification. Now if you really want to get to the bottom of it all, why don't you PM the guy (Doug Hillary is his name) that developed it for Castrol himself directly on this forum below LOL (seems from what he says, it was developed and then branded separately, one for BMW and one for Castrol itself): http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2988455

I'll see you tomorrow about 2PM. Have it ready please.

Very excite! I'd be happy to help if you need any assistance with the install

I love opening performance parts

Word, especially between gear changes.

It's Christmas!!!! This just arrived...

Agree! The 89-93 rs legacys sound awesome with a big bore. The 88 - 92 vr4's sound pretty angry with 2.5" straight piping from the turbo. Problem is they're all clapped out now. Molested and riding on bump stops.

Seller sounds like a real swell guy.

Try VASK for a MK1/MK2 golf brake booster. Bolts right in using e30 M/C.

yawn (just another die hard enthusiest thats lost touch with the brand)

Vee must haff ALL ze niches, jawohl!

i go through it tooo often... unfortunetly this time i was stuck there.... its a stage in mylife i should NEVER be forced to repeat

Ditto KNOB!

If you have been through it 10 times surely you can now call it Larry!

I run mine on s3 basically all of the time now and nothing more than s4. s6 is just far too brutal, even s5 is a bit too much sometimes in my opinion. You should NEVER lift in an SMG car, once calibrated correctly you shouldn't need to. And if you do, it'll just slip the clutch overtime as it adapts. According to the US guys who have been dissecting the coding for the SMG tune for both standard m3 and CSL the difference is vast. The S5 shift speed is about the equivalent of the S3 shift speed in the CSL. The torque ramp up is also 100% (in the CSL) vs 60% (in the standard M3) - this is what gives it that instantaneous perfect rev match in the CSL. There are apparently 6 different maps for the DME for the upshifts and 6 more for the downshifts characteristics - each of those incorporating a full throttle map (100% torque load) It is now possible to fully flash the CSL SMG software together with the corrected CSL DME codes to match (you need to do both, otherwise it is pointless as it'll just give you the higher launch modes and slightly better upshift speed, but you lose out on the downshift torque match from the DME).

The guy's a knob, why hide his plate and not let his VIN be known? He's dreaming with the price so it's only fair people get to dream while dribbling over his build sheet.

Hmm, not really when you look at the sales results and see who is number 1! Having spent lots of billions of Euro on R&D over the last few years, there is a need to increase sales and production volumes to get pay back on the investments made. When you are a Premium "niche" manufacturer, the way to increase sales is to make more "niches" in the market rather than try and become a mass-manufacturer and depreciate the brand image. There is obviously a HUGE difference between the 4GC and a 3-Series sedan, for a start it's a hatch-back and not a sedan!!

Thats why its called frozen paint .. cause everything gets frozen into it permanently.

It struck me as a four door version of a two door car that had been adapted from a 4 door model... The more things change, the more they stay the same!

I prefer stupid names over ugly designs. As long as they are pretty mr BMW call 'em whatever you like.

If it was she shouldn't be wearing a helmet lol

looks like one of Ray's old car...

My theory of that's what the letter was on Sesame Street that day is obviously in debate................

Get the V8. You know you want it!

youll need all that touring space to fit all the car hoes in now mate!

Basically....

A good move, M6Xs with flaking cam covers are enough to spoil any ones day.
