The latest version of M1 0W-40 is very shear stable.
Besides with a HTHSV of 3.8cP it starts out heavier than many 0W-40s such as Edge 0W-40 and Shell Ultra 5W-40 so you have nothing to be concerned about. Besides I thought you wanted the lightest oil possible on start-up? Name any other oil with a higher VI than M1?
With a 1000 ppm of Phosphorus that's about ideal for your engine; it meets all BMW spec's afterall.

We don't know exactly what the formulation is with M1 but i wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't have some ester content; it only takes a small percentage to get the polar effect.
But if want a higher ester content go with RL as discussed.
