Old castrol LL-4 or new shell LL-12 branded for BMW are both ok for refill.
That strange my dealers in Bulgaria says that the factory oil for this model specifically M340 is 0W20.. And also 22 000 km ... change it earlier don't wait for 25 000 it's way too much, I wont exceed 12-13k on mine.

I told every1 that the prices here in Europe are outrageous ... We pay 20k more USD for the car then you guys and all the service is like triple more expensive.. So enjoy that you live in USA.

Update I did a trip in total 2800 miles. So the car have now 4400 miles with the new 0W20 oil I put in. iDrive says it is still on the maximum. So far I'm super happy, everything below 1 litter every 6000 miles is OK for me.
