Not nearly the first. M cars never used to run 10W-60 till the E39 with the S62.
The X5M and x6M also dont use 10W-60 in their S63

The F10 M5 S63 is approved to use all BMW LL-01 approved oils, which is 5W-30 at most BMW dealerships around the world.
In mainland Europe BMW LL-04 oils are approved where the correct fuel types are found. many of these are 0W-30 or 5W-30
