I recommend you use the dealer 5W30 oil. Btw, I have a 2018 M240i on order. It'll be my 5th BMW, so I have a bit of experience with these cars.
I shipped my car back to the states a couple weeks ago, but for the last 5k miles on it, it's been running mobile 1 without any issues, oil temp runs 225 in winter and 230 in summer, no CEL lights, no lag feel. I might switch to something else at the next oil change since I'll be living in Florida, but for the German winters it did fine #shrug.
