Just avoid the 0w30 FE variants.

stick castrol, the important part is A3/B4 not LL01 or FE rating. 0w40 is good for hot weather. using M1 burned oil for some reason. i use M1 on non BMW and have so past 20 years, but for BMW and S55 engines i do castrol . good shit lol, far better than thin stupid oil that bmw uses 5w30 pennzoil which burns too after 5k miles
