Its either, will run on semi or fully synthetic. Fully synthetic is better suited to the engine though. You don't have to use 5-40w either, it can be 0-40w or 10-40w too.
Choice is yours
You'll also find a lot of people are brand snobs with oil, personally any good brand of oil will be suitable (it's not a Ferrari engine despite what people think) so Castrol/Fuchs/Silkolene/Duckhams/Elf or any other good brand will be fine.

BMW 330d :)
5w 40 is whats recommended by renault. I wouldnt bother putting any other type of oil in as it will increase engine wear.
