Your car does not use TWS 10w60 but the same oil as a 135i uses: 0w40, 0w30 or 5w30 LL-4 full synthetic oil from BMW.

I would just change your oil.
That's Dack. That's what I had gathered from all the other threads on here which I checked first.

Is there a dealer service bulletin to reflect this as per diff oil?

I couldn't find any oil information in the supplemental 1M manual, only the regular 1er manual which is of course going to say use the regular 1er oil grade.
