Per the M5 manual and I quote:

SAE 0W-30 or SAE 0W-40 or malfunctions or engine damage may occur. Alternatively, also engine oils with viscosity grades SAE 5W-30 or SAE 5W-40 may be used."

Anyway, the only oil available for the M5 at the Welt was the BMW SAE 0W-40 during the time that I picked up my M5 and so that was what I bought.
