I also was unable to change the oil from the gear box and diff, because the refinery probably located in Mars is not sending the oil to Brazil.

I think there is no problem to use the 10w60… just wait a little longer to the engine warm up.
Perhaps, perhaps not. But the engineers at BMW would not have spec'd the N54/N55 full synthetic LL-1 oil for the 1M if there was an advantage to using TWS 10w60 (M3) motor oil.

Don't you think the bmw engineers know better than the tech (or SA)working on your car?

The correct oil for the 1M is bmw full synthtic LL-1 motor oil. Not TWS!
