Mine is F30 N26 I4 turbo, so my thinking is API SN, A3/B4, MB 229.5 + LL01/LL01FE.

So the choices are:

1. BMW Twinpower Turbo 0W30 LL01FE A3/B4 API SN ($61 5L + oil filter shipped)
2. Mobil 1 FS 0W40 MB 229.5 A3/B4 API SN ($26 5Qt@local Walmart)
3. Penzoil Euro 0W40 MB 229.5 A3/B4 API SN($23 5Qt@local Walmart)
4. Penzoil Euro 5W40 MB 229.5 + LL01 A3/B4 API SN($9 1Qt@local Walmart)

Option #2 and #3 can be $40 including BMW oil filter.
Option #4 is similar price as #1.
Option #1 is BMW recommended.

My leaning is #1.
