I believe LL04FE is strictly for the EU but isn't allowed in the US and some other parts of the world. Anyways, LL01FE is superior to the LL04FE as it has a higher TBN and higher SAPS content. I would go with LL01FE over LL04FE if you can get it.

I think 01 can’t be found in EU. And we have 04 and 12.
So I have done some research on the subject and aparently 01 is better if you use gasoline with lower octane number than E95.
In Romania I run my M3 on E95 and E98 so LL04FE or LL12FE should be fine. I will change it in the next 7500 miles anyway.
I have also spoke to BMW service guys and some of them told me they replace the stock oil with 0w30 and others replace with 5w30.
What s your opinion on 5w30 for the B58 engine?
Thank you man!
