BMW's are little bit easier then VW.
GAS: BMW LL-01 spec
DIESEL: BMW LL-04 spec.
So, as long as you are using oil that meets BMW LL-04 you are good to go.
Mobil1 5W30 ESP is very good Low-SAPS oil that will keep your DPF, EGR clean. Also, you can just get BMW oil in dealership.
M1 5W30 ESP you can order online on Amazon:
Mobil1 5W30 ESP
Also, you can get Liqui Moly 5W30 4200 Toptec, Pentosin Pento HP II 5W40 or Pentosin 5W30 SuperPento III.
But again, as long as oil at the back of oil bottle says BMW LL-04 you are good!
