    Have you tried online sources?

    I am sure you can check with a dealership, but be prepared for a price markup.

    Here are some other oils we've found to perform well in the S54 found in the E46 M3, they may be more readily available in your market.

    Shell Helix Ultra Racing 10w60

    Liqui Moly Synthoil Race Tech GT1 10w60

    Redline Synthetic 10w60

    Fuchs TITAN Race Engine Oil (10w-60)



    If you're run into a situation where you're forced to import oil.... we do ship worldwide! HERE is a link to our oil service kits for your car.
