You want an oil that supports the longlife 04 specification.

Catrol has a 0W-30 "European Formula" you can buy here. I've been told it's the same as the BMW stuff, but obviously slightly different viscosity. However, if a car calls for 5W-30, 0W-30 is not going to do you any harm, in fact it'll probably be better for the life of your engine.
