Usually, the BMW has 5W-30 oil in their engine. So I am sure you can use the Mobil 1. However, since BMW is still paying for your maintainance, just use their oil and stick with their oil for the in-between "free oil change".
I have over 6000 miles on my X and I recently did a 1950 mile long trip. Should I change the oil myself now or wait for the scheduled 15k miles service?
