What oil should I use in M340i?

I'm planning to do an oil change after the break-in period because I will be going on a long road trip. I'm wondering what other oil b58 owner's use and any recommendations. I was also wondering because of the area I'm traveling to is going to be cold should I fill my car with any other specific oils that would help keep the engine from being damaged?

I use Motul 5W-30. Factory oil is 0W-30, if I am not mistaken. Plenty of old threads talking about different weight being used. Most prefer thicker than OEM if driving the car hard or in my case, tracking.
