BMW has recommended not using those oils here, so I would stay away from them. Either Edge 5w-30 or Magnatec 5w-30 seem reasonable.
10w-60 isn't an issue in terms of oil consumption, but rather for bearing protection. It is heavier than the oil the bearings were designed for. A heavier oil can withstand higher temperatures better, but a heavier oil does not provide better bearing protection.

thanks, I'll go for Edge 5w-40 next time. Car is From US. and fuel quality i dont believe is any better then in US.
EDIT: quite some time I've been looking for unleaded gasoline over here. Only 1 specifies it, but however they use Gasonline from another company, Wich are leaded. so kind of stuck with it.
