BMW seriously confused this.
In B58 now it says pretty much all grades are allowed, but stick to LL17FE, but if not LL01 (which your manual also says you can use).
On top of that, BMW is now introducing LL19FE that has HTHS above 3.5 (basically improved LL04) bcs. they figured these thin oils are long-term issue.
IMO, I would change it on my own.
I wonder if they put 0w-20 in the s58?
