My question is should i go with which of the following for the new M5? i am torn:
1) Genuine BMW High Performance 5W-30
2) Castrol Edge SPT LL01 approved 0W-30
3) Motul 8100 X-cess 5W-40
4) Redline 5W-30
All of these are LL01 approved except for the Redline oil
I live in Miami FL and i will push the car to the limits here and there, i probably wont track the car if only maybe a few times in its life.
Thoughts??

I have a strong preference for 0W-30 myself. I think it provides better protection at start up and at both higher and lower temperatures.
