It uses BMW 0w-20, part # ***-***-**** 8 which you will get from the dealer
You can use any brand you wish. I personally prefer Mobil 1 0-w20 full synthetic
I was following up with your question today. Please update me on the status of your question.
Thanks Charles. is 0w-20 the viscosity that is posted under the hood on the Z4 M40i?
Yes it is

Last question: for my 2020 Z4 M40i, should the 0w-20 oil be the BMW LL 01, 14 or 17? Not sure which offers the best protection. I live in Dallas, TX if that makes a difference. Thank you.

17 is the best
