Can't see anything about LL0x ratings anywhere although the label reads "Suitable for high performance, higher mileage petrol and diesel engines on extended service intervals"
I would suggest Opie Oils as your best UK source for suitable oil, such as: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-713-cast...ngine-oil.aspx

The Tesco would probably be OK, but it doesn't meet BMWs specs.
