Engine oil for G22?

I have been using Amsoil for years. However I am unable to find recommended engine oil from Amsoil for 2021 M440i XD (G22). I am also unable to find any recommendation from Mobil1, Castrol, Motul, Redline... Other than BMW OEM oil, does anyone know what the M440i uses?

Any oil with the following certs is fine: LL01, LL01FE, LL04 etc.

Castrol, Pennzoil(aka Shell), Valvoline, Liqui Moly, and even some Canadian brands.

LL01 or LL04 if you plan to keep car for some time beyond warranty.
Local Wal Mart will have Quaker State Euro 5W40 (rebadged Pennzoil) LL01. They also carry Pennzoil Platinum Euro L 5W30 (LL04).
If car has GPF, use LL04.
