Not really sure what you're trying to say but if you want to use Mobil 1 in your BMW then you need to use 0-40 European Formula, not 10w30 (it's way too thin).

hmmm, actually, a ton of people use 10w30 Mobil 1. BMW even recommends 5w30 for almost every motor.

They have never mentioned Mobil 1 10w30. They explicitly say on their own website 0w40 European Formula if you want to use Mobil1 as it meets their specs.

XW30 Mobil 1 doesn't meet spec. It's to thin and HTHS is to low. It's only an ACEA A1 oil, and the oil needs to meet ACEA A3.B3, as a mimimum, but preferably LL01. Remember a 30W oil can be nearly a 20W at the low end of the scale, and nearly a 40W at the high end of the scale. 5W30 is meaningless unless you look at it's spec sheet.
