If you look at m1 fs 0w-40 uoas it cant be far from the truth.
That's a steaming load of bovine excrement. It carries numerous long drain approvals from other marques; the same approvals its predecessor carried. For example, MB 229.3:

Yees in MB engine. Did talk about BMW engine. How long oci interval do MB have in Canada?
There's an argument that M1 has for marketing reasons opted not to market their M1 FS 0w40 as LL01. There really is limited demand for this spec since LL04 has replaced LL01 in much of Western Europe and never mind all the new BMW "FE" certs which have come about within the last couple of years.
In the US, BMW moved away from LL01 altogether.
