I would have thought that this was a function of the Vanos....which uses the oil feed from the main oil pump.

Your oil pressure readings are quite interesting, (assuming IUC) if the max oil pressure is only reached when the 10W60 is cold it infers that its flow rate at normal operating temp will be the same as the flow rate for a 0W40 at least up to 6k rpm....it being a volume flow regulated oil pump with a pressure relief valve (set at around 95psi?).
