Not trying to "feed the trolls" or anything, but in researching oil specifications, I found the following "official" BMW document http://www.chapmanbmw.com/PDF/servic...ty_booklet.pdf which may be of interest to those following this thread. It specifically states (on Page 6):

Quote:
All 2010 model year X5 M and X6 M vehicles are factory-filled with BMW High Performance SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Oil (BMW part number
07 51 0 017 866). We recommend this oil for regularly scheduled engine oil changes.
Although this is the "X5M & X6M Service Warranty Booklet" for 2010, I don't expect anything would have changed. Again, my goal is not to stir the pot, but just offer this up to anyone who is interested...
