Keeping this in mind, I would not go with Redline or Motul 300V because it they do not have the LL-01 Spec. Not that they are not great oils - they really are excellent.
.
The other Motul and LM products are good but in my search & including the video in this THREAD; the PP EURO 5W-40 is a really excellent choice when ambient temps are above 60F. In Canada a 0W-40 or 0W-30 would be needed for winter usage - IMO.

The PP EURO 5W-40 has a NOACK below 7%.

If you find a LL-01 Oil that has a lower NOACK then that's your winner.

The BMW 0W-30 oil for Canadian Winters
The PP EURO 5W-40 for summers and or track days.
.
OCI less than 10k miles is another good suggestion

Can you tell me why Redline wouldn't be a good choice? I've been putting Redline in my 128i and it says LL01 approved on it. And it has a NOACK of 6%
