I know every country is a bit different but I will tell you what I was told over here.

In Australia we don't get Castrol Edge. We get Edge Sport and TWS. I rang castrol themselves to get an explanation and spoke to a tech. about it. He explained that the original contract with BMW for TWS was that Castrol would supply all these oil tests to BMW for them to use and recommend their oil. They did all these expensive tests and BMW used it. Castrol updated all their oils and wanted to release Edge Sport and drop the old TWS cause it was the same thing just older technology. BMW again asked for all the expensive tests for them to recommend it and Castrol told them they weren't going to pay for it this time. So BMW told them to get stuffed that they won't endorse the new product and due to the contract for the TWS they still have to make and stock it. But as far as Castrol are concerned Edge Sport supersedes TWS.

THANX for sharing

Just for a laugh I might call Castrol UK and see what their thoughts are on this topic

Castrol are a bit weird with some things. TWS is exactly the same as Edge, so the 'older technology' stuff is nonsense, unless the formula is different in Australia and I can't see them doing that when the oil was made for a certain type of engine. I wouldn't bother asking Castrol as most of the time they will just folllow the 'corporate line'

I ordered another 12Ltrs of the correct CSL oil last night
