Thanks again to Carmudgeon for posting that link.
Looking at the product data sheets, the Shell/Pennzoil Platinum European Formulation series of products presents a neat little microcosm of the BMW Longlife specs -
LL-98 - Platinum European Formulation 5W-40
** Kv100 of 14.5
** Looks to be same product as the "Q European Formulation"
LL-01 - Platinum European Formulation Ultra 5W-30
** Kv100 of 11.7
** Does not appear to have any direct equivalent under a different name
LL-04 - Platinum European Formulation Ultra Diesel 5W-30
** Kv100 of 12.0
** appears to basically be a low-SAPS version of the LL-01 "Ultra" product
** Looks to be the same product as the "Q European Formulation Ultra Diesel"
