I use Fuchs titan in the missus mondeo and I use the Pro race fully synthetic in the BM, impressed as you can be with oil, its also often on offer from opie so that's also good. :D

What engine do you want to put it in?

I wouldn't put 5w 30 in any standard e30 engine.

Fuchs in general is good quality stuff, and I wouldn't hesitate using it in my cars ( in the correct grade for them )
cheers,

If te standard reccomended grade is 10w40 I'd go for a 10w40 or 5w40 fully synthetic, but like I said before, fuchs are a massive brand and good quality just not considered a mainstream brand in the uk.
cheers,
