M5's from (2012-2015) they fitted the Getrag GS7D36BG
M5 from late 2015 > they fitted Getrag GS7D36SG

Wonder what the difference is, and why they recommend different oil for both??

This information is false. Still not sure whatever the difference is between the +1 and the -1 DCTF, as Pentosin lists nothing on their website about a +1 DCTF.

The Getrag GS7D36BG M Double Clutch transmission is the standard transmission in the F10 M5.

The Getrag GS7D36SG is the double clutch transmission that went into the M3.

The difference between the two is that in the BG transmission in the F10 M5, 5th gear is a direct gear and 7th gear is the indirect gear. This was necessary due to the lower speed range for the F10 M5's S63B44T0 engine.

The M3 transmission designation is GS7D36"S"G (sport), and F10 M5 designation GS7D36"B"G (Gasoline.)
