Any top tier Fully Syn will be fine ...castrol, mobil etc. FWIW I always use mobil 1 fully syn. 5w30


And if you do a search on here you will find many posts with much arm wrestling and teeth gnashing about the 'best' oil to use....happy reading

AFAIK BMW UK recommend BMW LL01 (longlife) approved lube.

I use Mobil 1 0w40 fully synthetic which is BMW LL01 approved.

Right on.
I like Mobil1 so use 0-40w only (this is the only one certified as LL-01, long life).
BTW, in the US, Mobil-1 0-40w has silver botle/silver label and it says for "european vehicles" in the front.

Here is more information than you ever wanted/needed on oil - probably one of the best sources for oil info on the 'net

US Castrol Syntec 5w30 is not LL01. The German Castrol Syntec 0w30 and Mobil 1 0w40 are. I just use the BMW full synthetic 5w30. It’s not that expensive compared to the others.
