Need to use an oil with rating of “BMW Longlife-01” and 6.5 liters.

BMW is now using Shell Helix Ultyra.

For S55. 5W-30, 0W-30, 5W-40 or 0W-40. LL-04 or LL-12 FE (FE stands for fuel efficency and not a long living motor...)

LL-04 is for EU for their fuel types. USA is LL-01

Dealers are using both 0-30 or 5-30 depending on the local weather.

You will be fine with 0-30.

As was posted above, there are four acceptable oil weights. It all depends on where you live and how hot or cold it gets. You just need to be sure that it is LL-01 approved oil.

To be more specific, it should be LL-01FE, as stated in the manual.

Correct. For the US previously spec'd for LL01 (0/5w30/40 HTHS 3.5 or more) moved to LL01FE (0w30 HTHS over 3.0 but less than 3.5).
