The TIS recommends
enclosure 9 for the N20 engine as of 2/2019 (see screen shot below). And though it can use LL-01, LL-01 FE, LL-04, LL-12 FE, & LL-14 FE+…it’s
LL-17 FE+ that is the preferred recommendation.
And see the footnotes below for LL-04, LL-12 FE, and LL-14 FE:
1) For petrol engines, only BMW Longlife-04 and BMW Longlife-12 FE oils are permitted in Europe (EU plus Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein). They must not be used outside this area.
5) BMW Longlife-14 FE+ oils are only approved for petrol engines in Europe (EU plus Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein), USA and Canada. They must not be used outside this area.
