My old car, from 2005, used...0W 20 semi synthetic, but I guess that's because it was a hybrid.

i also would have thought 5w-30 being the norm, maybe all the cars in the last 4 years use 0w-40 but I'm not sure

Don't see everyone driving around in brand new Mercedes cars maybe its the norm where you live however most cars are oil specific to what engine they are running on. I know most VAG group cars run on 5w30 oil and I am only having a guess that most manufacturers are running to this grade. Take a look at this http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-680-car-engine-gearbox-oils-by-manufacturer-specification.aspx

Because the last few cars that I have owned, the latest being a 2014 Mercedes, have all required oil with a grade of 0W-40. I think wrong, really?

0w-40 seems to be coming more of a requirement these days.

You think wrong, why do state something that you have no idea about?

If it helps anyone Costco are offering 20% off a selection of Castrol oils, between 4th and 24th April.
Just a heads up .....the Amazon offer and link (to the £24.99 price) is for the older Castrol oil. If you look at the Amazon link it says "there is a newer model of this item" which is more expensive
That makes comparisons a bit tricky !
Still hot from me though !

difference between them is that the specs for the LL include BMW Long Life-04....

Slow-ish delivery, that's the only downside. Looking like it will be delivered on the 30th March.

Using The "EASTER" discount code
Total cost: £36.39, when it comes to delivery
This being said, I have no issue with buying from here:

Both are cheaper than Amazon currently.
This is the 5 litre price, and not the four litre though. Think my car needs 5 litres
