No! You need to use a fully synthetic oil to Long Life 04 (BMW) specification which should be 5w-30 or 5w-40.
I would use Mobil 1 ESP or Castrol Edge, both of which are available in 5w-30 and meet BMW's specification.

Question
About Halfords branded oil
Is Halfords oil to spec. WSS M2C913-B as good as the Castrol equivalent? The price differential for a 4/5 litre container is very great indeed so do the same warranties apply as to the Castrol product? I have a new Ford C-Max Titanium diesel.

This should be fine. Your car uses 5w-30 oil. The halfords oil specifically meets Fords' specification. Personally I would go for the Mobil version: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_721961_langId_-1_categoryId_165581#dtab

Same oil specification for the 190 and 230 BHP engines - 5w-30. Go for the best you can afford and definitely fully synthetic.

5w-30 is the correct oil for your ENGINE (same oil for 1.1 & 1.3 engines). The 75w-80 specification you are referring to is for GEARBOX oil.
I would personally go for the Mobile brand. We have used Castrol oil in smaller capacity Mazda engines before and it seems to make them noisier.

answer 2
5w30 is an engine oil spec. 75w80 is a gearbox or differential oil specification - the two are not the same. There should be a reference to engine oil spec somewhere in the manual.
