BMW Recommended specifications are as follows:
It is evident that these engines need to be warmed up significantly. As a crude way of explaining, if you start driving the car (with M1 0W-40 oil) and the OE oil temp gauge hasn't reached the first "dot", oil pressure is spiking well above 87 psi, repeatedly. It is crucial that these engines be warmed up liberally and driven lightly until at correct operating temperature. Another generic way of monitoring if you have reached operating temp? When the electronic dipstick begins to show the spinning clock. If the spinning clock is not present and the dipstick is still showing "-_-", it will not measure the oil level as it is not at what it considers to be operating temperature.
