Are you doing it yourself?
Believe BMW has switched to Shell/Pennzoil as there official branded oil, but not sure how the stock of the previous BMW branded Castrol oil will phase out to the new oil.
I would use the oil listed in the owners manual and purchase from the dealer and an OEM filter and drain plug gasket - all frm the dealer.

Not that another brand meeting specs is bad, but I'd do the branded oil this early in the cars life.
