Oil / Filter for 2011 35i

Hello!

2011 x5 xDrive 35i

My Googling is showing conflicting information. Although everyone seems to agree on synthetic, what oil should I be putting in, 0w30, 5w30, 5w40 or different? We're entering winter in coastal VA US if that matters. This is the first turbo engine I've owned so I'm not sure how critical brand matters here. I've read that I should only buy the oil from a BMW dealership. Is this true?

Is the STP Extended Life S10075XL an acceptable quality filter?

Thanks for your time!
