If you're looking for an LL-01 oil then yes, you bought the wrong one.

I've never used it, myself, but many people on here regard Castrol Edge and Mobil 1 0w-40 very highly. They are both LL-01.

I use 5w-30 but I'm switching to Mobil 1 0w-40 on my next change.
The manual isn't lying to us. It says: Quote:

If you are one who changes your car's oil more frequently than the BMW CBS interval (12K- 15K miles) then the Castrol 5W-30 would have worked fine for you. Using BMW Spec LL01 oil anticipates you are following the BMW CBS maintenance schedule OCI.
