I use Mobil-1 in the black label: 0w40 BMW Long Life-1.
Some people prefer the Castrol oil (since that IS what BMW reccomends) bought at the US dealers. Tischer and/or Dan@ UnitedBMWonline.com stock the oil change kits (oil filter & 7qt of Castrol oil)
As long as you use an oil that carries the BMW LL-1 approval you should be ok. But asking what kind of oil is best is like asking which religion is better!?!?!? :"))
Btw... You guys in Germany... why are you buying your Castrol oil thru ATU for 100 euros plus!!! Don't you have any Stahl Grubbe(Tip Top) near you? You should be able to buy that oil for less. I will ask the next time I go to my S.G. I think they sell the Castrol (the 5L jug) for 45 euros or so!! (List price is 99 euros though! ) Thats what I paid/bought when I had a VW TDi(45 euros). I needed a special euro oil for "pumpe duesse". Mobil-1 doesn't make one for P.D.
