BMW AG has said that a LL4 rated oil can be used where an LL1 rated oil is listed. But you can NOT use an LL1 oil where LL4 is spec'd. But I forget where I had seen that. But its true.
I posted a LONG bmw oil spec sheet many years ago to 1Addicts here. Sorry its all in German.
BMW approved motor oils... aka THE LIST!!!
