I use Liqui Moly 5w-30
That is the correct BMW oil. The YouTube guy "Engineering Explained" just did a nice video on direct injection and the type of oil that's best for DI cars. LL01FE does not have the latest additive package/pass the latest tests as far as I can tell.

ILSAC GF-6A or API SP are the latest requirements we want our oil to meet.
