Are you talking about the one below? Seems like it's only approved for diesel models.

I took it out and replaced it with the bmw hp oil. The Castrol OE was for the diesel 335! That oil was really black when I took it out and it was in there for less than 8 miles under 24 hours!!!!

Last oil change from the dealer states 5w30 with no oil brand mentioned. I did 0w40 last time I changed the oil.
