I believe the ACEA C3 spec requires a fully synthetic type to pass. The MGR specs for engine oil are set out in the Handbook as shown below.
However, using a fully synthetic type with a performance spec exceeding the original isn't going to do any harm. Basically, you're using a more expensive oil than necessary but lots of owners do so now. I think the feel good factor is the main driver, but there's nowt wrong with that.
