Thanks!
BMW TPT 0w30 (LL01FE) is reasonably priced. and is slightly thinner than BMW TPT 5w30 (LL01). While FE means "Fuel Economy" it has a hths of 3.2 which is very close to "thicker" A3/B4 (LL01) which have a min hths of 3.5

Castrol 0w40 (LL01) can be found cheaply at Walmart.

The cheapest route however is FCP Euro. You buy the initial kit and then get it free from then on if you follow their lifetime replacement program (ship them the used oil and filter you originally bought from FCPEuro for a refund). Basically you only.pay for the first kit and shipping of the used oil back to FCP Euro.
