Well BMW "recommends" castrol because they got some endorsement deal going on, plus BMW has their own "specific" oil blend made by castrol. Same thing like how the GT-R specifically uses Mobil1 0W40.

That's correct.. before that they have Valvoline and Quaker State in the late 80s and early 90s.
I would say both oils are very good and comparable.. it boils down your driving style. Oil test is key. Quote:

Oil test is key. | I used M1 in my old vehicle and it didn't burn a drop, tried it in the Subaru and it went through it like crazy. Switched to GC and haven't had to add anything between changes with great blackstone labs reports.

0 is the how thin the oil is in the cold ? lower the number the thinner it is
30 is the thickness when the oil is in operating temperature? higher the number the thicker it is
