When selecting an engine oil, ensure that
the engine oil belongs to one of the viscosity
grades SAE 0W-40, SAE 0W-30, SAE 5W-40,
and SAE 5W-30 or malfunctions or engine
damage may occur
......
Suitable engine oil types
You can add engine oils that meet the following
oil rating standards:
Gasoline engine
BMW Longlife-01.
BMW Longlife-01 FE.
Further information regarding the oil specifications
and viscosities of engine oils can be inquired
with the service center.

FE means fuel economy, i.e. they're lower viscosity.
