I actually just went back and fourth with this in my 3 series, same engine though.
I ended up going with 0w-40 and it feels smoother for sure. I have always tried to go easy on my cars until they are warm. From here on out I'll be doing my own changes and sticking with 0w-40. I have used this weight in my VW and Audi turbo cars and they all have done very well with it all year here in so-cal
5K intervals for me, which is about once per year.
