Did BMW change the recommended oil weight for N57 diesels?

Was browsing the GetBMWParts website and saw their oil change kits are on sale. Great. But then I read this:

Genuine BMW F15 X5 Diesel Oil Change Kit includes 1 Genuine BMW oil filter set that includes gaskets/washers, and 7 qts. of Original BMW TwinPower Turbo 5W-30 Diesel (vehicles up to MY2016) or TwinPower Turbo 0W-30 (vehicles from MY2016 and on).

I have been using 5W-30 and my manual says 5W-30. Is anyone using 0W-30 and why?
