Mobil 1 has a Euro-spec formula that is I think 0-40w. I used it in both the 330 and the M3. Both seemed to burn less of this then the BMW oil.
But I bet regular Mobil 1 would work just as well. |

I use the front jack points to lift the car and place a stand under the inboard frame rail. |

I've always used either Mobil 1 5W30 or Castrol Syntec 5W30. Nearly 100K now and the engine still purrs. Haven't noticed any appreciable difference in consumption... both have required 1-2 quarts top-off between 7500 mile changes. Generally, I find I need to top off more often in the fall and winter than the summer. Smaller seals in the cold?
