It will be different. Turbo motors use very different engine weight oils.
"Recommended Oil Unlike the E9x M3, BMW recommends 0W-30 oil. The times of mandatory 10W-60 oil apparently seem to be over. " http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=965749 |

The F8* user manual quotes the following: -
"When selecting an engine oil ensure that the engine oil has a viscosity class SAE 0W-30, otherwise functional disruptions or damage may occur. Alternatively, engine oils with viscosity classes SAE 5W-30 can be used" |
