I am most probably going to purchase a 20L drum of this directly from the distributor.

That is 100% the wrong oil (TWS) to use in a 1M!!!! The 1M uses the same oil that a 135i uses, namely BMW's full synthetic 5w30 LL1 oil.

BMW NA has even put a decall under the hood stating the correct oil to use! Here is a picture of M3 Adjuster's decall.
