I don't think so. I don't see any BMW LL approvals

BMW LL is moot, as LL is a BMW specification, not an oil industry specification. Castrol used to have an LL approval and was a BMW supplier, until BMW found a cheaper alternative elsewhere. Castrol Edge 0w-30 is fine.

Castrol Edge 0w-40 and 5w-40 used to carry LL01 certs, but not anymore. Probably still is fine.
