Full synthetic 0w30, 5w30, 0w40 or 5w40 oil is fine from any manufacturer if you change more frequently than BMW recommends (such as twice as often). If you keep close to BMW's change interval, then use only LL01 oils; in North America, the only readily available oils that meet this spec are BMW 5w30, Castrol Syntec/Edge 0w30 and Mobil 1 0w40.
