As a 2015 Abarth 595 owner here in the UK I tried Petronas Syntec and have to say the little fella seemed to like it.
Pros: engine liked it
After talking to a European mechanic. He said u need Germany oil for a German car. American oil is trash bc of the EPA regulations. He recommended Pentosin. The tick tock went away and I've been using it every oil change

Petronas Syntium 5w 30 on a mercedes and audi a6. No complaints at all, and good price
Pros: good price, no complaints

Pentosin is fine, Mobil 1 is fine, Castrol, whatever. I put Mobil 1 in my racecar but castrol in my daily because it burns oil and I want a heavier weight that I can't find Mobil 1 in. Pentosin or LiquiMoly are good, but don't put too much thought into it.
Pros: Pentosin is fine
Vehicle:
BMW
I use pentosin. Made for vws. Change it every 10k. Good quality filter and you'll be good
Pros: good quality filter
Mileage: 10000 km
The 5W30 full synthetic engine oil works the best for a wide spectrum. Its working temperature range is practical for daily use and it costs less than 5W40.
Pros: practical for daily use
Cons: costs less than 5W40

I use Pentosin in the e46, which I believe is BMW OEM supplier.
