I was going suggest Opie Oils too as a reference point. Because I change both oil & filter at silly mileages compared to those recommended by BMW (18k.... I don't think so 
) I discovered that Home Bargains sell Viscol oil to the exact spec recommended by BMW at £15.99 for 4.5 litres, filters I always get from a main Dealer who gives members a discount on another forum I frequent.
For what it does, oil is still relatively cheap.

You're right it's to do with low ash to help keep dpf from clogging so easily

Alternative to ECP is to blag a halfords trade card. They'll want to see a payslip, some ID, and naff all else.
Assuming you don't work for (for example) Halifax, Apple, or anything big name and obvious like that, they'll usually accept that it's "probably" a garage you work for and give you the trade card.

In post #13 you say it's a petrol so DPF doesn't come into it. Just get whatever fully synthetic 5w30 is on offer that's probably better than you'd get from a dealer service.

^^^^ yea spoke to son tonight we are going for full synthtic 3w30 oil prob off of wilko or if i can find cheaper off the bay of thives poss off there as not a rush job
As you are are in Bristol do you not know someone with a Costco card? 20L Chevron 5w30 fully synth I'm sure is about £45. It's what I use in my vehicles.
