I don't believe in high mileage oil formulations myself.

5w-30. BMW oil works well. I would also use Castrol,or Mobil 1. BMW oil was good for 20,000 to 25,000 km for me, so that sounds better than a 10,000 km boutique oil. LL-01 is an outdated 12 year old proprietary spec that only considers oil stability, not oil quality. I think a current API rating is better.
