I do not think that is the correct oil. That looks to me like the BMW's regular(dino) oil and not BMW"s synthetic oil! The synthetic oil has a blue label.
I believe the correct oil is: BMW LL04 (LongLife-04) 0w40 p/n 83210398504 IF you live in Europe you want to use a LL4 rated oil. LL1 is for the US market with high sulfur content in the fuel. To be 100% sure, I would contact your local BMW dealer and have them look up the correct engine oil in the ETK(electronic teile katalog or electronic parts catalog). Normally like with the N55, engine... you can use any LL4 rated oils, 0w30, 0w40, 5w30, 5w40. How ever I am not 100% sure with the S55 engine, although I suspect its the same. some BMW oils... https://oeldepot24.de/motoroel/motor...eller/bmw.html Dackel

BMW Original vs. Castrol Edge
This would purport that Castrol Edge might be better than the BMW Original oil.
