Make sure it's specified for BMW LL0-01, which is what you want if you're running your car on American gasoline. BMW LL-04 certified is not specified for use within the US due to the high sulfur content in our fuel.

LL4 meets LL1 specs. But not the other way around.

Besides... if your changing your oil more often than 10K miles/once per year, I wouldn't be too concerned with the LL rating(s). The BEST oil is FRESH oil.
