Can I use BMW brand Sythetic Oil?

It's 5w30. From what I read it is re-branded Castrol TXT Softec, can I use this in my Z? I can get it for free only reason I'm asking.

I'm not familiar with Castrol TXT Softec, but if it's API certified (which I'm sure all Castrol products are), then sure.

Not in your Z, but you can send it to me and I'll test it in mine for you!

You can but your car might seem a little douchey while running it.
