Hotter climates (other than the extremes above, Death Valley, etc.) rarely push oil temps. They're 190-215F if you're driving in 50deg weather or 105 if the oil cooling is right. And it is on this car (as far as I can tell in stock form).

I Shall reply in a respectful tone if I may.
I do notice over the 4 years of owning my M5, and 12 years of of owning my 335I, those are just my BMW vehicles, I will not go into Gm's and my Benz"s ( plural).... I do believe a 40 oil will be better in hotter temps.
But again , my friend Shawn - to each their own. it all good, We are all here to help each other !....
I say this cause I can feel the engine and smoothness when I drive over 10 + cars with different oils etc.
