and the answer to my question ,could be
Shell Helix Ultra ECT C3 5W-30
or
Shell Helix Ultra Professional AM-L 5W-30 probably this is closer to bmw tpt
thick 5-30 by KV , it doesn't say i think what the exact number of HTHS is,3.5 or 3.6

So can i Put a LL04 oil into my Canadian '18 330i? I have the same engine and feel the 0w20is just too thin for ths application.

Yes you can run any LL04. However, the 20 grade isn't too thin since your bearings have been engineered accordingly.
