Interesting comment from the FCP Euro website on their B58 oil change kits:
"New BMW's fitted with BXX series engines "Require" 0W-20 LL14FE+ Rated oils. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND using this spec! The levels of protection LL14FE provides are much lower than LL01. The new formulation LL14FE is mainly designed with CAFE ratings, EPA requirements and fuel mileage in mind, NOT OVERALL PROTECTION."
Basically echoing what G.Newt said.
My manual says both LL01FE or LL14FE+. Guess I'll stick with the LL01FE.
