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.
Go to the LM website. I had an email conversation with a LM tech. He recommends LM 5W40 for track use. I’m thinking of a mix of 1 gallon of Redline 5W30 and 2.5qts of Redline 5W40.
