I too have a 5/00 build date and the 10W-60 sticker. Go with the oil spec on the car. Your (our) M5 engine may have been built much earlier (likely were) than the May assembly date. The sticker indicates that the engine still has the "old" (more of a racing style) rings.

I will continue to run 10-60 through cold months.

Comming up on 6K mi on my Carbon Black/Caramel M5 and all is very well.
