MTF 5200 75W-80 from Liqui Moly.
I believe, during the time i was searching, they are the only ones i could find that offered that weight incl. BMW MTF 2 + 4 and API GL4 in stock (everyone else had thicker weights or GL4+ API).
That oil is very nice in winter, no hard shifting even in -15c last year (which is something i dreaded when using other brand with GL4+, GL5 etc).
No noises, no shifting issues all year round (40c+ summers as well if that matters).
