What engine oil to use?

Anyone have a good recommendation for engine oil other than the BMW/Mini oil?

Sorry, forgot to mention....

I called Castrol Oil customer service number and got a call back yesterday. They said that they make a special oil for BMW and it is not packaged for sale in Canada. They nad no alternative but to purchase the oil from the dealer.
