Yes, I have the same results on my recent service. They list 10 quarts of the TWS Synthetic Oil part number 07-51-0-009-420. They also list an oil filter element set with a part number of 11-42-7-600-089.

This is great information, as I was going by the manual, which as stated must be for the 35i and 50i and not the M. This makes the oil change quite a bit more expensive, at least when you are eventually out of warranty. With this oil in there, the engine is very well protected in my mind.

The M division must have made some bearing clearance changes from the other engines to require this type of oil, or they are simply protecting the bearings more due to the higher loads experienced in this engine. I am used to seeing Ferrari's getting filled with 10w-60 oil from Shell. This is really something special, because these oils in these multi-grades are very high quality, no expense spared oils I would guess. Awesome MMMMM.
