Will this oil be ok guys I am slightly unsure as book says acea a3b3 or acea b3b4

Bottle of oil says fully synthetic and matches the number above

This is for a complete oil change

Quantum is the make.

Thanks matt

It should meet LL04 ideally 0w-40 or preferably a 5w-30

Not ok ,it is not listed as a BMW approved LL-04 specification oil.
If you want alternatives to Castrol ,LL-04 spec. oils are available from Havoline (Chevron),Q8 ,Shell ,Total and Valvoline.
