BMW F85/6 LL certified engine oil?

Anyone know what the most recent "approved" list is for 0/5W30?

The manual only states:

Alternative engine oil types
If the approved engine oils are not available, up
to 1 US quart/liter of an engine oil with the fol‐
lowing specification can be added:
Specification
API SM or superior grade specification.

Does that mean there is no longer a LL requirement?

Mobil is off the list now - I thought that BP (Castrol) and Penzoil were on the list but their web sites have no listing for the F85/86.
