Not sure I would spend the extra dollars on imported oil when LL-01 and LL-04 oils are available in the US. Specifically, Pennzoil that is owned by Shell (which seems to be BMW's favorite at the present). Another supplier is Quaker State (also a Shell company) that offers two of LL oils recommended by BMW.
The mystique of European brands also flourishes in the Porsche forum, where that company specifies Mobil 1 oil, but many members tout Motul and Liqui Moly.
Granted Europe is the only place to find BMW's recommended LL-12e for its newer diesels, but it seems ridiculous to pay almost a $100 per oil change, when the old standard, LL-04, sells at Walmart for less than half that price.
