Wrong. Oil must be LL-01 FE or LL-14 FE+... Castrol EDGE 0W-40/30 are LL-01 (ACEA A3/B4-based).
It does not. This engine is also specd. for LL-01 in Europe.
BMW actively pushing FE oils here in the U.S. due to heavy city usage by customers.
FYI, the B46 engine is only used in NA X1 and X2, at least according to realoem. (I looked up the p/n for the short block of the engine in my vehicle.)
That just one of the versions of the same engine. BMW introduced modular engines and in reality now you have three engines, 3cyl version, 4 cyl version and 6 cyl version (I think V8 is coming in 2020).
Whatever oil is possible to use in B48, you can use in B46.
In EU recommended oil is BMW LL04 (duel to low sulfur in gas) or LL-01.
Same thing goes for B58 6cyl.
