Caveat: Definitely not an m96 expert but I have been through a dozen other motors and understand your frustration.

Observation: Low oil pressure light is a bad sign on a fresh motor.

In the absence of error codes directing my search I would apply a basic process of elimination to the problem. First pull the plugs and see if they or visual inspection of the combustion chamber offer any clues:

Signs of oil intrusion

Signs of coolant intrusion

AFR too rich/too lean

Detonation

leakdown test

One of these should point you where to look next. Good luck.
