If that’s the oil BMW recommends then you should be fine, did you call your local dealership and verify?
Also you can use the oil selector tool available on every oil manufacturer website to find the right oil as well. Pennzoil now supplies oil to BMW, in the past it was Castrol. The recommended weight can vary from one manufacturer formulation to another. If your car uses LL01, then as long as the oil says LL01 approved on it you’re safe.
Also don’t confuse quarts versus liters, make sure you put the correct amount of oil.
Also use a real genuine BMW OE filter, these are often made by MANN or some other German company, don’t get anything cheap from local parts store.
