If you want to do BGP, you need to use an official AS number.

You might want to talk to your IPv4 upstream ISP(s) and find out whether
they can arrange something - they could go to RIPE for you and get an 
AS number, or maybe you can convince them to get their own IPv6 address
space and allocate addresses to you.
