I have been using the oil recommended by the owners manual (the Dutch one at least) for a couple of years now, no issues at all. I use Total Quartz 9000 5W-40.
I too have a 2018 se and I use the liquimoly top tec 0w20.
I've been using the Liquimoly Top Tec 6200 0W20 with the VW508 spec.
Used the high mileage at oil changes on my truck in the summer and liqui Moly in winter. Both really great products.
using good quality oil (generally liqui molly) seems to be very much recommended.
I use liqui-moly 5w50 green stuff supposed to have better wear protection and I also add cerratech to it.
Liqui moly, 5w40
Liquimoly is by far a better 5w40 to put in a bmw.
I like Liqui Moly in my 2011 Jetta tdi but been really impressed with how smooth my car is running on Total quartz and been using that the last few changes. Total Quartz = smooth
I used OEM, Motul, and LiquiMoly oil. The only one that seemed to do anything with oil consumption was the LiquiMoly. I changed the oil every 5k miles and I had similar experiences as you until I did the LiquiMoly. Completely anecdotal, but I’m a believer. Been using it ever since.
