Shell now being using instead of Castrol by BMW Service

From the beginning of 2015, BMW have dropped Castrol as their oil supplier and are now using Shell both for new cars and servicing.

There was some speculation on this forum that they would retain a supply of Castrol for servicing of cars still under warranty rather than mix synthetic oil technologies inside the engine.

I can confirm that this is not the case. I dropped my 2014 F11 in for its first service and they told me they used Shell to replace the Castrol that came in the engine when new.
