New 10w-60 options? Have you heard of these?
First I see on Amazon is Racing+Ester? https://amzn.to/4903tp5
Next is Bizol? https://amzn.to/491CU36 Heard of these at all?

Have not heard about these before. Bizol is supposed to be a green motor oil which is enough for me to stay away! I recently switched from BMW to Red Line. Only difference I’ve noticed is the Red Line comes up to operating temp a tad quicker than BMW.

...still a proponent for Liqui Moly Race Tech GT1 w/Cera Tec at appropriate intervals
With a 12yo engine...IMO, seems risky to experiment with critical engine products.

The Bizol also looks more like a motorcycle oil and doesn't have the certifications for our engines. That's a no-go for me.

I usually run BMW 10W60, both the Castrol and the Shell versions. I ran Liqui Moly, it's also ok but I prefer OEM. After 15 years of ownership, I've done a lot of oil changes...

I haven’t heard of those. I tried Redline 5w50 and switched back to Liquimoly 10w60 on the next change. The redline used a slight amount of oil and ran hotter on my supercharged engine.

I have also run 0w40 on my engine. It was fine for every day driving and some track days. Car revs faster and engine feels more lively on the thinner oil. Oil consumption does go up. I did it to help rod bearing wear. Oil analysis came back good with 0w40. I stopped 0w40 after I had the rod bearings replaced with BE bearings. On BMW 10w60, the car feels great, no oil consumption between oil changes.

Likewise, original M owner since 2003 [e39 M5, two e92 M3s].
...wonder how many kiloliters of oil gone 'down-the-drain'.

This is my first run with the Red Line and I haven't noticed anything detrimental, my MPG hasn't taken a hit, and I'm noticing reduced oil consumption. I do oil analysis on every oil change, so we'll see what it ends up settling into.
