There are specific lubes for o-rings. I have read that BMW recommends water based products.

Specific rubber grease

I think you're putting too much thought into this. Just use a dab of motor oil. The charge pipe will end up coated with oil anyway so it obviously won't damage the o rings.

If you have nothing, spit works too

When I installed my er charge pipe there's was more than enough oil on the O-ring to swap it 5 times without needed a coat of anything

A touch of motor oil usually does the trick.
