The new labeling for TWS is Edge. They also sell it without the "BMW recommended" logo. It is the same oil.

It's hard to say definitively whether this is the correct oil or not b/c you found it outside of the US. Most of us here are US-based and only have one option from the dealership.

Should be fine. But the dealer-sold OEM oil will have 'TWS' stamped on it somewhere (which literally just means "Ten-W-Sixty" lol). Likely the exact same oil.
