Engine oil - N55 335 / 10-60 ?

I have posted this in the oil section but no replies so I think to post here in view that more 335 is tuned.

With FBO (with oil cooler) and cobbed tuned - stage 2 - not yet teaked turbos or engine parts.

Anyone is using 10w60 oils ?

Any good or bad about this ?

(No intention to go into methanol but intend to go stage 1/2 turbo only)

Pleased to hear.

Thanks reply.

I am thinking aloud.

As I am riding a 335 e 92 YR built 2011. At this stage I have FBO along with stett oil cooler, my temperature is keep welling about 110 even on aggressive driving.

As car is tuned, I believe 5-40 or 10-40 is suffice. Some indy shops suggested 10-50 for better protection. We can all see the M5/m6 are using the 10-60 oils.

With a FBO, pro-tuned, is it not better to go for Castrol 10-60 ?

Like some expert views on this ? Can see Castrol oils meets BMW expectations except without the LL-01/04.

In Asia, temperature are hot but 5-40 is suffice. just thinking if 10-60 would be a better oil ?

Appreciate expert comments/data.
