Clavurion is on a distinguished road
Facelift E53 3.0d was produced as EU3 (without DPF) and EU4 (with DPF) variant. No SCR cats on any E53 models.

One of the cheapest oils with suitable ACEA C3 grading is GM Dexos 2 5W-30. Nowadays it doesn't have the BMW LL-04 approval like it used to, but I personally don't care about that. (For example regarding Castrol oils being previous OEM oil supplier no longer have BMW approval even if the oil is exactly the same.)
