BMW usually uses a 20w oil on the M engines. Don’t you have the S63 engine? If yes, it probably has several recommendations that probably include an LL-14 FE and/or LL-17 FE (fuel efficient) oil.iu
If LL-14 FE & LL-17 FE oils are some of the recommendations for your engine model…then the dealership was not incorrect in using an 0w-20 viscosity oil. This is not to say that other oil viscosities can be used…but you’re not limited to only one oil viscosity.

Have never heard anyone recommend this oil for an S63 engine which is the whole point of me asking. Manual and engine bay states 0w30 as preferred fill. Attached is the recommendation from TIS for any BMW engine.
