BMW Parts pulled up a bulletin for me showing 5W-30 was the official oil for all the newer turbo cars to include the S63. The service advisor said he changes his oil every 5k miles at the dealer using Mobil 1 European Formula 0W-40 since it's basically the same thing. I've heard that before since european viscosity measurement is different somehow?
