Anything that is LL-01 approved by BMW. My local Wal-Mart stocks Pennzoil Euro Formula and also Castrol Euro Formula both LL-01 approved.

I ended up going with the Pennzoil Euro Formula 5w30. What's crazy is for last 3 years, I've been using the Castrol Edge Extended Performance 5w30 and once I used Castrol GTX Magnatec 5w30.

If Ferarri uses Pennzoil in their engines I think it's good enough for a n63.
