Engine oil PENNZOIL or ELF
Pennzoil. I've run conventional, semi synthetic, and full synthetic. Nearly 200k miles, still kicking like a mule. 7500 mile oil changes on the reg, some to 9000. No signs of slowing down.
Pros: still kicking like a mule
Cons: none
Mileage: 321869 km
Pennzoil ultra platinum often goes on sale or has rebates, I'll stock up a couple years supply when it does.
Pros: goes on sale, has rebates

Pennzoil Platinum can be found for $26/5qt. and it’s certified to protect against LSPI. I’d suggest going that route if you’re trying to save some cash. I did and the car seems to love it.

Cons: save some cash

Pros: regularly on sale

5w40 for sure, my engine sounds happier, quieter, more sound than it did when the PO had 5w30 in it. So 5w40 is a given especially since you have a lot of Km on the clock, when it comes to the brand it really doesn't matter especially if you keep the oil change intervals reasonable.
Pros: engine sounds happier, quieter
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 12500 km
