About to do my first oil change on my car. its 11 335i e92 with 35k on it.

I was looking at different oils and came across Rotella 5-40 T6. Is this oil ok to run or should I use something else?

Liqui Moly 5w-30

I typically run Mobil 1 5w-30 and Liqui Moly 5w-30 (NAPA) . Best bang for your buck is going to auto zone and doing a walmart price check or go to walmart. $25 for 5qts instead of $50.
