Would love to see it. Just did a 10K, oil change TWS 10-60 I'm my e39 M5.
While Castrol TWS is a stout oil, any S-powered engine should never run that long on oil, no matter what the BMW Oil life monitor says.
Olive, what year are you? while alot of M owners have just run the 10w60 no matter what, the TIS allows for both 5w30 and the 10w60 in the S62.

How are you capable of saying this without SEEING the report? Some people on this forum make me wonder.

Oliveoil here, casper it's a 2000 M5, and it doesn't use oil! I have had wonderful results with 7-9K at this point. Yet all of my driving is at highway speeds...very easy on oil. Although I do clean the pipes out at least once a day. My year M5 is the 10-60 version. Yet I'm sure I'd be fine with 5-30 BMW brand too.
Joe, they are as cheep as a camry right now. Much more fun.

Seeing how this guy ventures onto BITOG about once very 5 months, it'll be a while before we see it...

Ive seen enough over on M5board.com, bimmerforums, and a few that have popped up here from time to time.
It shears pretty fast and then has a nice stable grade from there on out. Its a great oil but running anything 10K especially in a $20K+ engine has been pretty much recommended against in any S-badged engine. Steve Dinan one of the largest names in the BMW tuning world, as well as the gentleman that built my car Bill Knobloch of Discovery Automotive both advise against running that long on anything that is going to see high temps both operating and ambient for any more than about 5K miles.

Olive...are you DIY oil changes? If so you could really save a good amount of cash by swapping over to non bmw sourced oil and running maybe something like their 0w40 or even GC 0w30 and running it to like 7-8K given your ease on oil. Mine never chewed through oil either, guess it was easy 1200mile break in. Keep her rolling! I miss mine everyday.
