Named approved oils
Trade name Viscosity Producer
Agip 7007 SAE 0W-30 ENI S.p.A. Refining & Marketing Division

Never heard of this particular brand, but note it is also 0W-30. I don't see 5W-30 associated anywhere with the BMW LL01FE certification.

Here is a link to the guide on the LiquiMoly website:

https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/servic...048c3e744fe78/

The guide is for the M235 and lists all of the lubricants for the car including the engine oil. It does not list the M240 but I expect it is applicable as it is BMW approved.

Ironically, I use this in my Wife's X5 4.4l (the 5W-40). Perhaps I should get off of my Mobil 1 obsession and switch for the M235. Probably will...

Good luck.
